September 2008:  This is the second summer PCLC students participated in a Bike Club.  Together they logged 1,632 miles which is about the distance from Bismark, ND to Chicago, IL and back!  As part of the bike clud, they raised money to buy bikes for less fortunate children in our community.  2 bikes and accessory packs were purchased.  Accessories included helmets, safety pads, water bottles, locks and training wheels.  Over the past 2-summers, the children have bikes 2,600 miles and donated 5 bikes.  Thanks again to all the children who participaed in the bike club!  Keep biking and we'll do even more next summer! Pictures above are Aaron S., Jack P., and Justin B. The bikes were given to the Alley Shoppe at Arlington Hills Lutheran Church.
