advance of events. How does the group renew itself, given the interest and need for better safety and education programs, for bicycle advocacy generally in Lexington? How and who should take charge of recruitment and encouragement of volunteers? George talked about better group branding (T- shirts, hats, etc.) and an adopt- the - Bikeway program. Jennifer suggested that FoLB reach out to people to get ideas and ask, "What do you care about ?" Laurel said that the Friends' name is "cumbersome." Peggy suggested, "Bike Lexington," to go along with the email group and the title of last spring's flyer. This could be part of an "overall overhaul." Bob Hausslein said that events are very important to reach new volunteers. It was suggested that we reach out to Cycle Loft about some sort of affiliation, as well as a discount program for bike riders at bike stores or generally. The group thought it a good idea to get bike jerseys made with "Bike Lexington." It was agreed that a good organizing team as well as dedicated leadership was essential to moving forward. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.
