Eric Wright - 1998 Cycling Safety and Promotion Program Volunteer of the Year

What makes CfSC's Cycling Safety and Promotion program successful is the many volunteers who devote precious hours each year to program activities. Among this special group of people, often one or two stand out as having made an especially valuable contribution.

This year one person in particular had a hand in many parts of the program: Eric Wright. Eric helped with several Kids Can-Bike Festivals, volunteered at information display booths, was a lead organizer of the Harvest Ride fundraiser, and showed up to the annual picnic with a barbeque when nobody else did.

He assembled an excellent portable display board and map carrying case that had been needed for years, and has been well-used this year to get the safety and pro-cycling messages across. Each of these contributions helped to make various Cycling Safety and Promotion events a bigger success, and helped to make the work of the coordinator and other volunteers a little easier.

Eric did all of this in addition to his regular efforts as a board member, providing careful direction to the program budget, staffing, activities and policies throughout the year.

Congratulations Eric, and thank you.
