Samantha Buente hasn't added a story.
I think most of you know me, but I'm Sam (Smith) Buente and I'm an AOII Chi Lambda alumna and currently the administration adviser. As such, I have learned that we are woefully behind in our Bike Race training gear. Although women who participate have been willing to shell out their own money for proper equipment and such, we are at a point where we need to seriously reconsider the safety of our existing equipment. This gets pricey. We requested to use a pot of money available through AOII headquarters, but were told that would not be an option, so we're turning to alumnae for help. Here's the budget breakdown:
4 new bikes at $400 each= $1600
2 new sets of spinners at $100 each= $200
Estimated repairs to make existing bikes safe for additional team members= $500
Goal: $2300
I know this is a lot of money, but I also know that we can raise this. We are proud group of women with a history of being competitive. AOII won Bike Race in 2014, and some of those team members are still around to lead us to victory in 2016, but we can't do it without better, safer equipment. Please spread the word, and give whatever you can.
Donations will go directly to my Paypal account and I will write a check to the chapter. I will personally cover the transaction fees from using this service, but if you would rather send a check, make it out to me (I promise this isn't a ponzi scheme-- your money WILL go to bikes!) because all AOII receivables go through HQ now and mail it to:
