Sunday, June 8th, The American Diabetes Association is in need of a few volunteers from about 12:30 to 3:30 to assist with the unloading and distribution of bicycles from the Tour de Cure “Wheel to Weston” ride that morning. “Two Men and a Truck” will be returning the bicycles to the ATA parking lot north of River Market Cyclery, 315 East 3rd Street, KCMO. Riders will be arriving by bus. Volunteers will assist the truck operators with the unloading and matching of bikes with the proper rider/owner. Get a free volunteer T-shirt for you help!
