SeminOwl2006 Making His Way Across the US to Help Build Homes...
Just a brief note to let members know of an opportunity to become part of a worthwhile cause…
FAU Alumnus and OwlsNest board member & contributor, Chris Lohr (pictured above), AKA “SeminOWL2006,” will be peddling across the US this Summer on a 3,500 mile bike ride for the cause of affordable housing in conjunction with Bike & Build.
In essence, Bike & Build is a charitable organization with the following mission:
To raise money for, and draw awareness towards, affordable housing efforts through cross country cycling trips. Our events act as a catalyst to build homes, foster the spirit of service, and empower young adults; mile by mile, house by house.
Since being founded as an independent 501©3 organization in 2002, Bike & Build has engaged over 1,000 riders and has donated more than $2.3MM and 63,500 hours to affordable housing groups throughout the country.
You can learn more about Bike & Build Here at their official website.
Chris has a heart to help those in need and we have partnered with him financially to assist in covering the basic need costs of his journey.
Please consider joining us. Every dollar will make a difference; even if only a few. There is no minimum.

******************************************
OK, I just looked at the brochure. You will be not come that far north but the biker leaving from Providence to San Francisco looks like he/she might be coming right through town (assuming he/she is taking US 36 west). If he/she is, then he/she might be passing less than a mile from my house.

Each route has 32 riders plus a support van so if they come through have a good chance of seeing themI am not sure what the route through Illinois is exactly but I can give you the email of one of the leaders of that route and you can give them a buzz. Where in Illinois are you because a whole slew of rides go through there.
