Thanks so much for hosting WVU students for the Adventure WV Day of Service! Included in this email you'll find important information regarding the Day of Service on Friday, August 14th as well as the pre-reflection for Thursday, August 13th. On Thursday evening, we have coordinated programming for the students after they finish moving in. We would love if you could join us at the WVU Rec Center for the pre-reflection activity. This will give you an opportunity to meet the students, talk about your organization, as well as discuss details for the next day. The pre-reflection is scheduled from 7-7:45pm, so if you could arrive by 6:45pm, that would be stellar. I invite you to come earlier (6:15pm) if you'd like to have pizza and meet the students! Please let me know if you are unable to attend the Thursday pre-reflection. On Friday morning, the students will be departing to their respective service sites by 8:30am. You can plan for the students to arrive between 8:45 and 9:15am. The students are all yours until 3:30pm, when they will depart for the main campus. We will be delivering lunch from Honey Baked Ham between 11am and 1pm, so please plan a lunch into the work day! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email or call! Cheers, ~Leah *Leah L.

Board Member Nominations
by patrick Kelley 28 May '15

28 May '15

Greetings Positive Spinians- As many of you may know Positive Spin is preparing for its first ever Annual Meeting on June 28, 2015. During this meeting we will be voting on our board of directors. All nine seats will be up for renewal and we are now seeking nominations for those seats. While Positive Spin would like to get the most involvement out of its board of directors as possible, the time commitment is minimal with one monthly 2-hour meeting for approximately 9 months. While no experience is required, and we highly encourageall dedicated people**to submit their names for nomination, we especially would like to encourage those with a professional or advanced degrees e.g. attorneys, CPAs, MBAs, etc. If you have a candidate in mind or if you would like to sit on Positives Spin's board, please contact me at your earliest convenience. All seated board members wishing to seek another term should also submit their name. Additionally if you are not considering a run for a seat on the board, the nominating committee could use some help recruiting board members, please contact me with regards to this matter as well.

Saturday - Todd May Helmet Fitting & Photo from Spin with CRC!
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 27 May '15

27 May '15

*This Saturday! Todd May First Responders Fair - Kids Helmet Giveaway* - Volunteer helmet fitters needed for Saturday, May 30, between 10am - 4pm at the University Towne Centre in the Walmart parking lot! Learn how to fit a helmet properly by watching this video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dKo791h2hfE&t=166> produced by Positive Spin. Contact me if you want to participate for any length of time. Like last year, I will be biking up to the event, so if you are interested in joining me for a fun morning hill climb, just ask. Good News: This is an awesome opportunity for the Spin because the sponsor, Farmer, Cline, and Campbell Law Office, donates the leftover helmets to Positive Spin assuming they end up with extra helmets. Last year we received a large box of mostly toddler helmets. *Please remember* if your child receives a new helmet at the fair, and your family has no more use for the previous helmet, kindly donate it to Positive Spin. * **Photo from Spin with CRC* - Attached is a photo from the beginning of the May 24 Memorial Weekend ride with CRC. This photo only shows some of the participants. Next Spin with CRC is before our Potluck/Annual Meeting on June 28, same time (1pm), same place (Positive Spin)! -Jonathan

The 2015 sojourn in West Virginia will center on the city of Morgantown, home to West Virginia University and the burgeoning Mon River Trails system, 48 miles of rail-trail in the north central part of the state, connecting Marion, Monongalia and Preston counties. During the Sojourn, there will be many bicyclists visiting, and we will be doing our part in making them feel welcome to our amazing state by providing bicycle event racks, and by allowing visitors to freely use our tools at our Community Bike Shop on April 24 and 25. *SPRING TRASH BASH- Point Marion, PA* *Saturday April 18* Along the Sheepskin Trail and Road along Cheat River Meet 9AM at Point Marion Park Contact: Vicky Evans at victoriaevans109(a)gmail.com <mailto:victoriaevans109@gmail.com> with questions or RSVP RSVP not required but appreciated *Sojourn Volunteers still needed on Saturday, April 25* I would like one person on the north end of the bridge across the Cheat River from 10:15 am to 11:30 am.

Doesn't have to be the same two people they could use 2 or 3 shifts to reduce the time of each shift. They would have safety vests to help direct cyclists and warn drivers of bicycles in the area by their visual presence. They would also have safety flags.

Greeters
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I would like to invite you to consider serving as a Greeter at the front of Positive Spin even if for only 1 hour at a time during one of our weekly openings. Currently, Fridays and Saturday, 1-5pm with Saturdays generally being our busiest days. Greeters serve a critical role in making people feel welcome to our Community Bike Shop, answering questions, helping with transactions, and keeping exacting records. We now have a new computerized system that was developed over the Winter by one of our volunteers, and which already is taking our organization to a new level. If you love interacting with people, you will really enjoy being a Greeter. Contact me if you are interested, have more questions, or alternatively just come down to the Spin. -Jonathan

Help needed for Green Households Fair April 18
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Last year we were invited to set-up a demonstration at the last indoor Farmers Market of the year for a new event sponsored by Morgantown's Green Team called the Green Households Fair. They liked us so much that we have been invited again for this year's event on Saturday, April 18, 11am-1pm at the Wesley United Methodist Church . Unlike last year, we will have a table indoors which will give us even better exposure to the public. I will not be able to take a lead this year so if you are interested in organizing this on behalf of Positive Spin, please contact me. We do have bicycle generator systems, so one possibility could be making green drinks in an attached blender. I hope this interests someone with a little electric understanding because the systems have not been used in a long time, and appear to need some work. Another demonstration possibility could be showing people how to bicycle repair tubes. -Jonathan

Several volunteers have expressed interest in continuing to open the shop during the winter and Friday afternoons seemed to be the best time. Therefore, Bill Jones and I are planning to open up tomorrow to get an early start on the year. Come join us if you have the time. Bill and I partiontioned off part of the shop so that we have an area that is easier to heat. We will be testing the concept tomorrow. We also have some good quality bikes to be fixed up for the spring opening to the public. Will

Christmas Bike Update
by thesumak＠aol.com 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Just back from a trip to the new armory to gather intel related to storage and distribution of our bikes. Looks like there is enough space to move all of them there tomorrow (Dec 17). Right now it's Will and I with our trucks and if need be, I'm sure we can handle it with a few trips. If there is anyone out there with a van, truck or trailer that would enjoy helping us, please meet us at the spin at 2pm. Cheers, Bill

Fwd: Christmas Bikes

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <thesumak(a)aol.com> Date: Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 10:19 AM Subject: Christmas Bikes To: wdravenscroft(a)mail.wvu.edu, 1128WillR(a)gmail.com Greetings, For anyone that might want to help with our participation in the Christian help toy giveaway, we will be meeting at the spin at 2pm on Dec 17th to load and transport bikes out to the new armory. In past years, we took half the bikes on this first run and then brought a load over late morning on the day of the event. Don't know till we see our new location if this is still required. The toy giveaway will be on Dec 18 from 8am to 5pm and all Positive Spin volunteers are welcome to help. As I recall there is a break from 12-1 and lunch is provided. The new armory is on the Morgantown Airport property. It was built right on the east end of what once was runway 5-23. There is a new access road being built, which comes out at 857 but it will not be done in time. Access is currently from Hartman Run road. If coming from Sabraton take a right on Everlasting Ln which is just north of Woodland Ter trailer park. This road loops around the south end of runway 18-36 and takes you out to the armory. I tried but failed to get an address, but if you plan on coming out, I still think it would be useful to open your favorite map app to get a sense for where the access road intersects with Hartman Run. Cheers, Bill

Shop closed this Saturday
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Positive Spin will be closed this Saturday. This is the first Saturday closing I have ever had to announce, which speaks volumes about our impressive group of dedicated volunteer keyholders! Shop will be open this Friday, 1-5pm, and then back to the posted schedule <http://positivespin.org/home2/content/view/94/80/> on the website. Also, as previously announced on *October 5, 1pm* there will be one more opportunity this season to spin with Country Road Cyclists on a ride up to Masontown, WV and back again. The Fall colors should be spectacular. Positive Spin will have an informal potluck picnic after the ride. -Jonathan

September - October Schedule
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

*September - October Schedule:* Along with Saturdays, 1-5pm, we are now open Fridays, 1-5pm and every other Wednesday, 1-4pm (Sept 24, Oct 8 & 22). Please note that currently Wednesdays are dedicated openings for volunteers only and are not for patrons; a no-sales/no-trades-ins/no-repairs policy will be strictly enforced. However, donations will be received during this time. The reason for this policy is that we presently require some openings in which volunteers can dedicate their time preparing kids bikes for the Toy Giveaway this December. As with last season, we hope to offer volunteer only nights this year. If you or an organization/group/business are interested in dedicating an evening, please contact me. *October 5, 1pm*: Mark your calendars because there will be one more opportunity this season to spin with Country Road Cyclists on a ride up to Masontown, WV and back again. The Fall colors should be spectacular. Positive Spin will have an informal potluck picnic after the ride. *Late Fall/Winter Schedule*: The shop will be closed to patrons from November until the beginning of spring when the doors will open again for the 2015 season on Saturday, March 21. However, weather permitting, there will be announced volunteer only openings between November to mid-March to complete bikes for the Toy Giveway, and to prepare for the 2015 season. -Jonathan

August 10 - Spin with CRC / Picnic with PS
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Positive Spin wants to remind you that you are invited to ride with Country Roads Cyclists (CRC) this Sunday, August 10, at 1pm in the vicinity of Positive Spin. If you need to drive, there is overflow parking beside the skate board park. CRC will bike up the Deckers Creek Trail to Masontown (milepost 13), then return to the park. Keep in mind that you can ride whatever distance you want, that is one of the nice aspects about group trail rides. You can get creative, too. Some people drive their friends up, and then ride down the trail one-way, and designate another person to bicycle back up to Masontown to retrieve the vehicle. Positive Spin will have an informal potluck picnic about 4:30pm. Please bring a dish to share, or food can be purchased in Sabraton. A grill will be available. Word is that there may be a DJ in front of the facility! Positive Spin and CRC are partners, and I am glad to announce that we are indeed experiencing real results in getting new people out bicycling! CRC schedules <http://www.crcyclists.org/crc_rides_sched.pdf> many rides, and CRC membership <http://crcyclists.org/mem_form.pdf> is only $10. -Jonathan

Wanted: Used USB Scanner
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

In the spirit of recycling/reuse if you have a working flatbed scanner that you would like to donate to Positive Spin, please contact me. Positive Spin averages about 5 page scans a week, so it does not need to be fast or fancy. It just needs to be able to handle a normal paper size, and have a USB interface. -Jonathan
