It's been a busy Earth Day starting with a workshop session at MTEC this morning. The expected students didn't show up so it ended early after repairing a bike for a student.
After that it was back to the shop where the Industrial Engineering students and MDS students helped fix more kids' bikes. At 1:30 we went to the Green Fair on the Mountainlair Green - which ended up being moved indoors because of threatening weather. The turnout was huge and it sounds like we'll have a few new volunteers and customers as a result. The generator got a lot of interest and excitement from many people who passed through. We were set up next to the WVU bike racing team who all took it for a spin. Thanks to our MDS and service learning volunteers who helped hand out literature and promote our efforts. Here are a few pictures.
Tonite is the Sierra Swing sponsored by the Student Sierra Club at WVU. We've also donated a bike to them, come out for great music and support this great environmental cause to celebrate Earth Day and enter to win a Schwinn Frontier Mountain bike. Tomorrow nite is the Friends of Decker's Creek "Spring Meltdown" where yet another Positive Spin bike will be raffled off. Help support restoration and preservation efforts, and have a good time with great people and music at the West Virginia Brewing Company.
Last item, they've been keeping a bike for us over at Habitat for Humanity's ReStore. Can anyone drop by and pick it up during their business hours? Thanks.
I'm off to party.
Nick
