I was a little disappointed, then immediately relieved to know that there are other organizations whose experience and knowledge we can look to. I'm looking forward to making contact with Bikes Across Borders, Bikes to Chiapas and Pastors for Peace in the near future. I'm also hoping to hook-up with the local bike coalition or some other bike related non-profit to sponsor us so that we can seek larger tax-deductible donations.<br />We're in the planning stages for our first fundraiser. We're organizing a bike-in movie for June 6th. If you have any suggestions for what we should show, email us at: bikesforchiapas@gmail.com<br /><br />--SPIDER<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8112523650011867323-9105049132895955211?l=bikesforchiapas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bikes for Chiapashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02901063152277278956noreply@blogger.com0
