WELCOME TO AMERICA.

Larrea has fixed up all the bicycles that have been donated to the program to date, so that they are in good working order for people to use.

Following the mixer, Selectman Ted Little described the event as “just a glorious time” and added that there is still a need for housing options and bicycles.
