[GREN-Exec] Ready? Set? Launch! Join us as we launch Community Access Bikeshare¹s crowd-raising campaign tomorrow (May 1-15)

[Kevin Thomason]

John,

I've sent out a few tweets about it already.  Perhaps we can share an e-mail to the GREN mailing list and see how folks can get involved.  Perhaps Jane has an e-mail already created that we could just forward aimed more at the general public?

Do you know Jane at all?  I can follow-up with her or feel free to contact her directly too.

Cheers,
Kevin.
