KaliAnn Weidemann and Elisha Kok, both fifth graders at Isom Elementary School, stand with school librarian Lori Hortegas after receiving their new bikes in a presentation by the Lynden Masonic Lodge in the Bikes 4 Books program.

At left are school principal David VanderYacht and Richard Decima of the Masons. The youths were winners in a drawing for reading and reporting on books read. The Masons now do this giveaway at 11 schools in four districts now and will increase the program even more next school year. (Calvin Bratt/Lynden Tribune)
