By Tony Le, ACTC President

Tuesday, April 16, Jim Sayer, Executive Director for the Adventure Cycling Association, will give a special bicycle touring presentation to ACTC and friends. We’ll meet with Jim at  6:30 pm, at the First Congregational Church, 1980 Hamilton Ave, San Jose (corner of Leigh and Hamilton). (Note this is our normal meeting place, but this is an additional presentation to the general meeting on April 3.)

Jim is no stranger to the Bay Area, where he was once the Director for Greenbelt Alliance. Jim served on the boards of Amnesty International USA and the Ginetta Sagan Fund for the Rights of Women and Children, and is presently on the board of America Bikes.
