Bike Newton Meeting -- discuss advocacy and form committees

You are invited to an important BIKE NEWTON meeting on Sunday, December 6 from 3 - 5 PM at the Newton Cultural Center, 225 Nevada Street, Newtonville. We will begin a dialogue with the general membership regarding our priorities and activities going forward. Many people have asked us to expand our advocacy. We want to pull together your ideas about bicycling in Newton and form committees to help make things happen. We will invite the new mayor and all members of the Board of Alderman to participate. Join us for an interesting and fun afternoon. 

Agenda:

3:00 - 3:45  Refreshments. Meet other members. Bicycle-related activities for children. Option to view video "Contested Streets".

3:45 - 4:30 Meet in small groups to discuss policy, political advocacy, outreach, educational programs (bring books/ drawing materials to occupy your young children during the discussion period).
