Welcome to new volunteers Jennifer, Jerry and Jeremy who helped us get more of the Biloxi Bikes done this weekend. We'll need lots of help next weekend to get them finished. Please volunteer, especially if you have bike skills. We've got about 25 bikes done toward our goal of 100.
Also next Saturday we've been given the chance to exhibit at the Morgantown Mall Community Service Fair. We'll have a table setup from 10am to 9pm with a display board and brochures to hand out to promote our activities. If you can help staff this table please call Nick at 599-1791. We've received our bike locks and helmets - we'll be publicizing their availability at this event. Even if you can't help at the shop days or events, if you want to volunteer, call or email and we'll find a job for you.
In February Positive Spin will enter a new phase, shifting from bike collection and donation to education and member service. Look for these events....
Regular Saturday shop times for personal bike repair.
Membership drive.
The benefits of membership will include free use of shop tools and recycled parts (new parts will be offered for sale as available). We will see about getting member discounts at local bike shops.
Monthly membership meetings.
After the Critical Mass meetings (5pm on the first Friday of each month) we'll meet at the shop for a movie or other transportation-themed event.
