iCan Bike Camp Volunteer spotters needed!
If you have some free time this summer and want to give back to the community while sharing in the joy of learning to ride a bike, consider volunteering at Bike Camp the week of July 18th! Volunteers are needed to spot riders as they transition through specially designed adaptive bicycles with the guidance of iCan Shine staff.
It is important to note that volunteer spotters will walk/jog approximately 3 miles during each 75-minute session. We ask volunteers to commit to attending all 5 days of camp for the session(s) selected. Riders bond with their assigned volunteers and rely on the same person to be there to support them each day of camp.

Can I use an expired at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen test?
As it can take time for test manufacturers to perform stability testing, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will authorize at-home COVID-19 tests with a shelf-life of about four to six
months from the day the test was manufactured, understanding that it may be extended later as additional data is collected.
You can check the Expiration Date column of the at-home test to see if the expiration date has been extended here: www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/home-otc-covid-19-diagnostic...
For additional information, contact us today at (410) 636-2274.
