Bikes for<br />
Children<br />
T<br />
au Beta Pi, <strong>WVU</strong>’s <strong>Engineering</strong> Honor Society, teamed<br />
up with Positive Spin, a Morgantown nonpr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
organization, to repair used bicycles <strong>and</strong> donate them<br />
to Scott’s Run Settlement House, a charity that passed them<br />
on to area children in need. Tau Beta Pi’s national <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
began the project two years ago. At first, the students collected<br />
bicycles <strong>and</strong> repaired them in their dorm rooms <strong>and</strong><br />
apartments.<br />
“We had just about given up hope <strong>of</strong> getting any bikes done<br />
last year,” said Heath Morris, president <strong>of</strong> the <strong>WVU</strong> chapter.<br />
“We were all busy with projects <strong>and</strong> finals, <strong>and</strong> we lacked the<br />
tools, work space, <strong>and</strong> expertise to get the work done.”<br />
Tau Beta Pi member James Maley, an aerospace engineering<br />
major, helped repair bicycles to give to children in need as part <strong>of</strong><br />
a service project last fall.<br />
Morris then got a call from Positive Spin, a new non-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
organization in Morgantown with the mission <strong>of</strong> making the<br />
area more accessible to bicycling. Positive Spin <strong>of</strong>fered Tau<br />
Beta Pi’s student members the help they needed to get the job<br />
done. The chapter collected <strong>and</strong> repaired several bicycles, <strong>and</strong><br />
donated them to Scott’s Run in December.<br />
