by Jonathan Rosenbaum 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Positive Spin will formally open to the public for the new season this Saturday, the 22nd, 1-5pm. WVU's Tau Beta Pi (The Engineering Honor Society), our long-time partner, will help us prepare the shop on the first day of Spring, Thursday, March 20 by providing a work session as part of their Annual Spring Bike Drive from 6-8pm. Please stop by to help out! March 22 is 2 days after the start of Spring, and one month from Earth Day on April 22nd, so please celebrate the month going into Earth Day (April 22) by helping to recycle a bicycle at the Spin and becoming a member! Memberships are $24 for individuals or in lieu of 8hrs volunteering on at least two separate days (BOD decision, May 21, 2013), and $36 for families. "Are you ready to take a Spin?" -Jonathan

A few WVU students are going to be volunteering at the shop tonight at 7pm while we have our board meeting. This will most likely be the last opportunity to fix up a bicycle before this Thursday's Christian Help Toy-Giveaway, so please feel inspired to stop by and help out. The word is that we now have 103 bicycles ready to give away! We do need help at the armory on the day of the event at mileground on the 12th, especially in the morning. Email me if you are interested. -Jonathan
