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 they approached.

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

Unfolding 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 up by New Seasons Community Impact Manager, Karen.

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

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

Everyone was so kind to the cycling team. 

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

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