When I told Chris about this class that would be starting, I wasn't sure what his response would be. He had turned me down for so many suggestions I had for him to get involved in, other than Scouts (which his dad pretty much "encouraged" him in being involved in). I casually mentioned it and told him you would be leading it. (For those of you reading this, we knew Bill previously from his employment at the church). He said, "sure, I wouldn't mind trying it". I was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea he would be THIS interested in it! The group gives him a real sense of belonging, a much-needed growth in self-esteem, something he can call his "own" that his big brother doesn't have any interest in doing, and a way to make friends. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you doing this and to thank you for all of your encouragement to Chris. You'll probably never know how VERY MUCH Chris needed something like this in his life. I did it in this forum so that others can see what a difference THEY can make in someone's life. Thanks, and I can't wait to see the big PARADE!!!

Thanks uni-mom. It's a pleasure having Chris with us. He's a fast learner and will be doing some really cool tricks in the near future. Oh yeah, it's fun to have you around too! Even if you won't ride one of our crazy one wheeled contraptions. For everyone - we have been averaging about 10 unicyclists per evening. Just had another new rider last night and another young rider has been watching her mom and brother ride with us and is showing some interest in learning. Both of our 10 year old newbies are busting out big rides now and gaining confidence daily. Our newest adult newbie is learning to turn since she is usually riding across the gym and needs to stop or turn. Tomorrow night will be our first parade together and we'll have 7 riders. I'm very pleased with the turnout for our first parade. Should be a lot of fun. Exciting news! I sent in a little update to be put into the church newsletter (where we ride on Tuesday nights). Tonight I got a call from one of their members. He used to own a bicycle shop and has an almost new unicycle in his basement that he is donating to the group. He has 2 other unis in the family that we or an individual might be able to pick up really cheap. he tells me they are all in good to excellent condition since they were hardly used. Thank you, Art, for your generosity! Gotta go, have few more preparations to do for the parade.

It's uniqueness draws in people in its own special way. The camraderie is strong and the rewards (for riders and organizers) are great. GILD wrote: * bill, isn't it about time to change that sig-line? * Getting close. I'm checking into liability and legal issues right now. I'm not a rich man, but I don't want to lose what I've got. I also want to minimize the liability risks for other leaders within the "future" club. We have too much stupid and frivilous litigation in this country. It's pretty sad at times.
