Thoughts from the Program Director – Tom Martin

If you have been waiting at one of the bus stops for at least twenty minutes past the pickup time and the bus has not arrived, please call Tom Martin at 262-353-5684. Tom has contact information that will help identify the problem and provide information for the possibility of getting you to the event. 

In addition, our events are set up with the “Kid” in you in our minds.   The “BOLD Kids” are encouraged to attend all the events listed in each newsletter.  Let’s get them involved!

 

 Very Early Announcement --- 9th Annual Harley Ride

Mark your calendars!  Plan ahead for this very popular event!

The cut-off registration date for this event will be set at April 26, 2009. This will allow us to plan better for the day of the event. We received great feedback on our survey from the last ride and are working hard to incorporate your comments.  BOLD had a good turnout this past year, so mark your calendars!  Also, please do not try to call in for this event until it is announced, complete details will follow in later newsletters!
