Thanks to donations by generous community members, as well as members of the Del Sol Lions Club, 24 new bicycles were recently presented to deserving students in the Casa de Amistad tutoring program, a news release stated.
In addition to buying and assembling the new bikes to fit each student, Lions and volunteers also gave each student a bike lock, a safety instruction booklet, a tire pump, and a helmet. A course was set up so students could practice riding their new bikes safely.
