Join with the BCC and Marafiki Center for a Fall Family Biking Day. As part 
of its philanthropic outreach mission, the BCC has donated bikes and 
helmets to the Marafiki Center which is hosting this family bike ride. The 
mission of Marafiki Center is to create opportunities for cross-cultural 
connection. They build a bridge of mutual understanding through education, 
events, and advocating for improved representation of the African and 
Swahili-speaking communities in Lexington, Kentucky.  On Saturday, October 
18th, there will be a photo op for the families who have benefitted from 
the BCC’s donation, a short ride on the Legacy Trail after which snacks 
will be provided. We hope there will be several BCC members on hand to show 
our support.
