Eight brothers and pledges assembled three therapeutic tricycles on Friday, February 6, 2009 at 3 PM at Children's Rehabilitation Services (CRS) located at 1610 Center St. -- Contact Patti Fassbender 432-4560. So far the CRET team has purchased nine therapeutic tricycles from AMBUCS and after they purchase their tenth they will receive TEN free tricycles. They will use these for the evaluation center to be located at CRS.
Gamma Phi will have their hands full putting together all ten, so we welcome alumni involvement when that happens. We'll be in touch!
Then, a week later, Robert Perry, the CRET team and Pi Kapps presented the trikes.
Here's a note from brother Perry:
Team,
On Friday I was blessed to be able to present three therapeutic tricycles to children with disabilities. The USA Pi Kappa Phi men were a great help! It took them about 2 more hours to finish assembling one of the tricycles! They made the kids feel so special -- thank you my brothers.
I got to race with two of the children, so much fun.
They have been posted on our web site at http://www.childrensrehabengineeringteam.com/grants09.htm or http://childrensrehabengineeringteam.com/trikes09-02.htm to see all the fun. There will also be a Press Register article next Sunday.
Thank you for your community spirit, and letting me have all the fun!
Yours Truly,
Robert M. Perry
