<div>Hey all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The General Meetings have assumed extra importance now that The Bike Project has received a nicely sized charitable donation. As a cooperative, member input is needed on how to go about spending that donation in pursuit of The Bike Project's mission.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong><font color="#000099" size="4">General Meeting, Tuesday, January 26th, 6-8PM at The Bike Project</font></strong></div>
<ul>
<li>View and edit the agenda on the Wiki - <a href="http://thebikeproject.wikispaces.com/orgmeet-2010-Jan-26" target="_blank">http://thebikeproject.wikispaces.com/orgmeet-2010-Jan-26</a></li>
<li><strong>Some important aganda items</strong> - Campus Bike Project, Earn-a-Bike Program, Steering Committee Nominations and Voting, Bylaws Discussion, and How to Spend Co-op Funds</li>
<li>The decisions that get made at this meeting determine which direction the co-op is heading. Your input and vote as a member makes a difference. Also a good place for new members to learn more about what goes on at The Bike Project aside from fixing your own rig.</li>
<li>Pizza and drinks are provided at the monthly general meetings. </li></ul>
<div><font color="#000099" size="4"><strong>Free Bike Fit Clinic, Sunday, January 31st from 2-3PM at The Bike Project</strong></font></div>
<ul>
<li>A short bike fit clinic will be provided by TBP member and Crow Dog bike fit business owner Karen Partlow.</li>
<li>If you're looking to buy a bike, the size of the bike is the first detail you will need. </li>
<li>The clinic is open to both members and non-members of The Bike Project. Let your friends know about this event if they are looking to get a bike this Spring.</li></ul>
<div><font color="#000099" size="4"><strong>We need kid's bikes - Earn-a-Bike Program Starting Soon</strong></font></div>
<ul>
<li>Our hard working Americorp volunteer is putting together a youth Earn-a-Bike Program.</li>
<li>Local kids will have the opportunity to work with TBP volunteers to tune up a bike to be donated to a charitable organization, and then tune up a second bike for their own use.</li>
<li>In order to support this program, The Bike Project needs to increase its stock of gently used kids bikes. </li>
<li>Check your garage and tell your friends. We can use everything from small training wheel bikes to 24" teen bikes.</li></ul>
