Bikes For Books

In the fall of 2006, the Bend Masonic Lodge entered into a partnership with the Bend-La Pine School District to present the Bikes for Books program. In this program, students at District elementary schools can earn entries for a drawing to win a bike by reading 12 approved books.

In the spring of 2007 the Bend Masonic Lodge held drawings at thirteen elementary schools in the Bend-La Pine School District. Every student who participated in the program received a certificate, and 29 bikes were awarded. The winners of bikes were invited to a picnic in June, where most received their bikes.

This program is being presented again during the 2007-2008 school year. More details are available in the pdf file located here. A pdf copy of the application form for 2007-2008 is available here.

As in 2007, the winners will be drawn the first week of June, and the bikes will be presented at a picnic to be held on Saturday, June 14th.
