Call for Volunteers - 清理美化 Minuteman Bikeway！

一年一度的Minuteman Bikeway 清理美化活动将于五月七日进行，早上九点开始，大约持续2个小时。请大家踊跃参与。

Minutemen是美国殖民地民兵组织的一部分，顾名思义，他们可以在一分钟内做好战斗的准备。独立战争时期，他们是保护社区与英军作战的重要力量，最著名的Minuteman就是1775年4月19在绿野战原（Battle Green）以及北桥（North Bridge）打响独立战争第一枪的莱镇与康镇民兵。

1990年麻省保护与娱乐部买下了横穿贝德福、莱镇、阿灵顿与剑桥的废弃铁道，将之改建成自行车道，并冠名Minuteman Bike Path以致敬先烈。此后这条十英里长的自行车道成为步行者、慢跑者、自行车手以及轮滑爱好者的天堂，供人们户外休闲与通勤使用，也为人们探索沿途自然景观与当地历史文化提供了方便，成为人们最受欢迎的活动去处之一。

三十年来，自行车道一直被人们精心维护，今年也不例外。这次活动由Friends of Lexington Bikeways和莱镇华协（CAAL)联合组织，莱镇跑群（Hey Runers）和莱镇骑车群(LexRide) 协力参与。此次清理美化活动将会覆盖Minutemen Bikeway穿过莱镇的自行车道，具体工作包括捡路边的垃圾，拔杂草（garlic mustard)。请大家踊跃报名参加，共建社区!
