(1/3) one of our funders for the last 4 years can’t cover the costs of the workshop next month. This is unexpected news. So, I am personally reaching out for help. We are still going to offer the workshops and are committed to keeping them free and paying our workshop leader.

Happy #EarthDay. Our friends at Deno’s Wonder Wheel have a new bike rack! So bike on over to @WonderWheelPark! #coneyisland

[Denos Wonder Wheel @WonderWheelPark]

Ride your wheels to Coney Island's big wheel! For #EarthDay, we took inspiration from a very wonderful first grader who made a bike rack as a reminder to reduce our environmental footprint. We've installed a bike rack below Deno's Wonder Wheel to help us better do that 🌎🎡
