Edmond Summit Rotary featured D'Anna Pulliam with the Women's Auxiliary of Salvation Army at the August 6th meeting. D'Anna explained the program that provided over 1400 bicycles to OKC children last year and is on track for that many or more this year.  She explained how the bikes are purchased direct from Huffy and shipped gratis by Fedex then assembled by volunteers then checked by professionals prior to presenting to the kids.  Safety helmets are donated by a local professional bicycle association.  Pictured from left to right, Treasurer Koorosh Zahrai, President George Strecker, D'Anna Pullium, Program Chair Julie Hovis.  

The club consented to collecting a donation over a couple weeks and was able to present a check to D'Anna for Buck$ 4 Bike$ for $165.00 which is enough for over 4 of the smaller bicycles or 3 of the medium bicycles.   The Red Bucket President Strecker is holding is placed at many businesses around the city and is a mainstay in the fundraising process, along with regular donations from businesses and organizations. For more information contact the Salvation Army and ask about the bicycle program or ask for the "bicycle lady". also  http://salvationarmyokcac.org/tag/bucks-4-bikes/
