World Exotica Bike Dance Party
October 06, 2006
Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club is an organization that promotes cross-border and cross-cultural bike touring, offers free clinics and encourages rider self-sufficiency. They're known for showing up at local bike events and offering free repair service. At their headquarters in SE Portland, they offer free bike repair clinics.
Community Exchange is a collaborative effort, but the mastermind behind it all is Steven Kung, a charismatic person with an infectious spirit. I guarantee you, spend 10 minutes with this man and you'll be inspired to contribute more to the world. Steven is filled with ideas and ways to make them happen. He is systematically building the organization on a local level with hopes for global reach in the future.
And in the meantime, Community Exchange needs a revenue stream to help float their projects and pay for their planned web projects. Their first fundraiser, World Exotica, is this Saturday at Center Space, 420 SE 6th Avenue, from 8pm-2am. The event features live music and DJs throughout the night, free food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and hundreds of dollars in raffle prizes. The venue is smoke free, there is free bike parking and entry is $15. You can get free entry with a used bike donation or $5 off if you wear an exotic world costume or bring a healthy potluck item. For more information, contact them through their website or call 503/957.6672.
