[Imc-supervisors] Cleaning House at The Bike Project.

[Anthony Cherolis]

*Hey all* -

One item to note.  I was contacted by "John" who is on our email discussion
list.  He offered to pick up the scrapper bikes and parts from the ramp and
take them to the metal recycler.  I figured it was OK since the amount of $$
we get from recycling steel is barely enough to cover the volunteer effort
and gas money involved.

Just so everyone knows that John has permission to remove the pile of scrap
bikes and will probably be doing so tonight (Saturday).
