We want you to be able to bring your family! In order to encourage the participation of families in the future of our organization, Bike East Bay is facilitating coordination between parents in order to help offering a child care cooperative to participants registered for our Strategic Planning Summit in January. Any caregivers attending the Summit may bring their minors along.
For every one hour of volunteer caregiving, caregivers will receive three hours of free childcare during the Summit. We have a child-friendly room at the venue adjacent to the Summit activities, but parts of the Summit will be child-friendly and input from all age groups is encouraged. The details of the childcare co-op will be organized once we know the ages and number of children attending each day of the summit.
To learn more or register your child, please contact Bike East Bay board member Kristin Tennessen at ktenness@gmail.com or 415.483.5274. Kristin and her husband Danny often trade-off care of their 1-year old during Bike East Bay’s events and look forward to helping you do the same at our Summit.
