Spin®-a-thon at Spynergy for Haiti Relief, local church

 

A local church here in town, the Wellesley Friends Meeting, has asked us to raise money for a "sister" church of theirs:  a Hatian-American congregation in Waltham called the New Covenant Church of Cambridge.  The Haitian disaster has struck them in a very direct and personal way as you can imagine.  To read about their gut-wrenching plight, click here for a recent article from the Waltham Daily News Tribune.

 

On Saturday, I visited with Reverand Thomas St. Louis in the basement of his Church where he has been sleeping for the past week trying to console, minister and organize help.  You can hear the exhaustion in his voice in this VIDEO we shot with him.  

He is planning to personally accompany a delivery of supplies that is now being assembled.  They have lots of clothes, but need money for desperately needed medical supplies, food and other assistance.  Every little bit helps.  Please help us help Reverand St. Louis.

Alex, Bill, Melissa, and Andy will teach 4 consecutive 30-minute classes:  11:00, 11:30, 12:15 and 12:45.  Each with awesome and inspirational music (as always!).  You can sign-up on- line like any other class, your ride card will not be charged.....but we ask for a minimum donation of $20 per class (and of course will always accept more).   If you want to spin for a full hour....book two consecutive classes!  Donations should be checks made payable to " Haiti Earthquake Relief Assistance Fund".   Click here to view schedule and book your classes.  Booking these classes will not impact your ride card, Donations will be collected at the studio.....thank you , thank you , thank you.

I read this post a few weeks ago; what a great idea! I heard that a lot of gyms and other organizations were holding classes specifically for donations to Haiti.I was hoping you would eventually post your progress on the spin-a-thon...how did it go? How many people ended up coming? How much money did you raise?
