Positive Spin has now been in business for 5 years, this is a big milestone for us. Five years ago at this time Hurricane Katrina had just hit and we started to collect and repair bikes for relief aid. We sent 50 bikes on a truck with other relief supplies, and John Lozier and I drove to "Plan B" in New Orleans French Quarter to unload and repair bikes for local residents and relief workers. Upon our return to Morgantown we were given enough workspace and bikes to continue recycling locally, and decided to include sustainable transportation in our mission with a goal of reducing vehicle miles travelled by 80% in the Morgantown area before 2040. This seems like a good time to invite our volunteers, past and present, to a party to christen our new location and show our appreciation for all the help we've received.and plan for our continued growth. We need volunteers to help with this though. If you can help with planning, publicizing, recruiting or anything else please call the shop or email volunteers@positivespin.org.
Thanks!
Update - Oct 6: We've booked the Jenny Wilson Jazz Trio to play for the afternoon. I've scheduled a planning meeting for tonite from 5-7pm at the Marilla shop. If we don't have adequate interest or help the party will be postponed.
