We're pleased to announce board members Dave Fork and Jack Miller are the latest SVBE volunteers to be recognized by the Western Wheelers cycling club as Lefkowitz award winners.
The club describes the award:
The Lefkowitz award is a legacy created by the late Ben Lefkowitz. Ben, formerly a very active member and president of Western Wheelers, was also a strong bicycle advocate. The city of Palo Alto named the Under-crossing of 101 at Adobe Creek (boundary of Palo Alto Baylands and Shoreline Park near East Meadow Drive) after him. Ben gave $5,000 to the club in 1989 asking that proceeds from the funds be awarded each year to recognize service by an individual or organization which has benefitted cycling in the Bay Area. The club now subsidizes the award. The Board (or a committee appointed by the Board) makes the final selection.
Dave Fork is BikeX's co-founder and board president, while Jack Miller is a long-time volunteer and board member.
Both join Robert Neff, Ralph Rohwer and John Langbein as BikeX volunteers to win the award.
Congrats to Dave and Jack!
