Bicycle club gets moving

The inaugural meeting of the Biking for Life in Fayette

County Bicycle Club included the nomination and acceptance of the

club's slate of officers, an open discussion to address club mission

and goals, and the introduction of guests Susan Snead of the

Newnan Bicycle Club and Dennis Hoffarth of the Atlanta Bicycle Club.

The club officers are Carleton Williams, president; Ken

Almand, vice president for education; Glenn Simpson, vice president

for public relations; Ray Nelson, vice president for

membership; Stephanie Pawlowski, treasurer; Ann Nunan, secretary; and

Linda Mackey, sergeant at arms. Twenty-nine persons attended

the meeting and there are more than 50 who are now on the

club's roster.

Club members discussed establishing ride options,

including sponsors and levels, and were informed that area bike shops

have regularly scheduled rides as well. It was suggested that the four

bicycle clubs that are within a 25-mile radius meet

together monthly.

Dick Allis announced that he repairs donated bikes for

needy children and also provides helmets to those in need. His

phone number is 770-487-9956.
