Re: [Bikeboard] Bicycle Board & Allstate
by Frank Gmeindl 21 Aug '13

Hi Susan, The Bicycle Board discussed the Allstate offering at the Bicycle Board's August 1 monthly meeting. We had one idea: to continue the bicycling education program but decided that we could not respond unless we had some idea of the order of magnitude of funds that Allstate is planning to provide, the time frame over which they plan to provide the funds and the deadline for a proposal for the funds. Is it possible to get that information? Frank D.
