SHELTON - There were a lot of happy faces on 18 children at the offices of FitLinxx in Shelton, CT last week.  
As part of a company-wide meeting, a team-building exercise and FitLinxx’s overall strategy of helping people of all ages to improve their health and well-being, company employees assembled 18 bicycles and donated them to children through the Boys & Girls Club of Lower Naugatuck Valley (nine bicycles to the Shelton Clubhouse members and nine bicycles to the Ansonia Clubhouse members). 
Pictures of the children were taken with their new bikes at a reception. Refreshments were provided.
