Popo meets TIM + tanuki stickers!

MIT PN2K was invited out to CPW 2016 Public Service Expo held at the MIT Z-Center Johnson Lobby. The Public Service Center works with hundreds of student organizations focused in the area of service for the community. This Thursday, Apr 7 from 6:30-8:30 PM, our team tabled and spoke with a flood of MIT prefrosh (term used for potential incoming freshman) to demonstrate what we do for the community. We told them how Popo, our tanuki (to the left), was our mascot and represented our club, founded as the chapter of the PN2K Memorial Foundation, in order to work on making cycling safer for the MIT community. We told them how we held monthly bike events, with free minor repairs, pressure-washing, food, bike registrations, music, and cool people. In this image, you can see Popo meeting TIM, the MIT beaver. It was friendship at first sight.

On another happy note, we also finally began to put in orders for our Tykes for Bikes kids' bike program (with funding from the MIT Community Service Fund), which included our tanuki stickers. Given that we had so many, we started to test them out as laptop stickers and helmets stickers -- tests passed! And they do look snazzy too. We hope these stickers will serve to make more kids and their families aware of bicycle safety! 

Thanks to everyone who dropped by and picked up a campus bike map! We hope you prefrosh make solid decisions on which colleges you'll accept, and if you happen to find yourselves at MIT, then say HI to us at MIT PN2K! We love new members getting involved. Keep Calm & Pedal On
