Bike collective meeting!!!!!!!!!!

Photobucket

Lets meet, hang out, and make plans. We want to schedule work days, workshops, fundraisers, and a maintenance day.
Maybe there is a better day to meet? ( we want more people to show up)
Its would be nice to learn new skills. ( Maybe you could do a workshop)
- welding
-truing wheels
-fixing brakes
- anything really
We still don't have enough funds to buy a tool set ( lets have an awesome FUNdraiser!)
And our roof caved in again ( we could schedule a day to fix the roof... permanently? with all this rain, a tarp roof just don't cut it! )

Tue. June 9th 7pm at the Firefly 219 NE 20th st

Come out and help create a sort of collective you want to see.
