Pioneer Project for Romania

The Bikes for Romania Project  was started in 2009 and took until August 21, of 2011 to fill the first semi load of goods.  This project was intended to provide assistance to some of the poorest people in all of Eastern Europe who had suffered terribly under communism.  We gathered 21,000 pounds of clothing and 146 bicycles for these people.  The Omaha Council’s assistance was vitally needed in order for this project to succeed.  Darwin Fager provided valuable assistance by reconditioning over 40 bikes and Bob Wolkins, (Project Chairman) reconditioned the balance of the bikes.  Without the assistance and financial support of the Council, these bikes and clothing would not have been shipped.
