    Feedback – The Centre Region Employers’ Guide to Bike to Work
        Jeff Luck talked about having municipal gov incentivizing businesses to be more bike friendly, like having a good bike rack. Anne said she wasn’t sure how to do that.

Updates
    Cargo eBike Library
        Karl spoke with Craig at Bike Den and that Craig would be happy to talk with CentreBike.
        Karl mentioned 3Dots’ Awesome Grants, which is minimal amount but it’s a start.
        Jeff mentioned HVAB and Centre Foundation grants too.
        Anne mentioned place in Harrisburg with many bikes but unsure if any are e-cargo bikes. High current gas prices could be a big incentive for folks to borrow these bikes
    Website
        Karl said News section was confusing and date was incorrect. Jeff asked for CB letterhead. Jeff asked if meeting notice will disappear once it’s passed. Matt said they vanish, but not sure if it is after the event, or at the end of the day
