Grace and New Seasons

PIZZA

Anticipation for the bicycle ride from Seven Corners to OMSI, varied across the team.

Some dreaded the cold and the rain, while others awoke at the break of day, wide eyed and ready to go.

  

Standing alert at front the door was the smiling store assistant manager Aime, "Hello, welcome to New Seasons," she said to the children as the approached.

"Come this way," she said and waived as she turned.

As the children approached the back corner of the store, lo and behold a dining room was waiting for them. And it was filled with

pizza. All sorts of pizza! 

Thanks to the well healed gift card loaded by New Seasons Community Impact Manager, Karen.

"We are happy to support your ride!" she said.

What a spot it was for an inner city cycling team to meet up and roll out. Carefully positioning their bikes out of the way, the children were a spectacle drawing smiles from grocery shoppers making Saturday buys.

Everyone was so kind. 

Aimee was everywhere at just the right time. Always helpful, even the pizza chefs were sweet and kind. - urging the children to have any flavor of pizza they might want. 

What a perfect start for a Saturday ride to Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
