<font size="2">The Gesundheit! Institute is excited to be collaborating with the Independent Media Center and local Healthcare experts to bring a night of healthcare themed films to the IMC's annual film festival. This Healthcare night will be <strong>February 5th</strong>. Features include two rarely screened documentaries about the healthcare system, an introduction by a local healthcare justice advocate, a talk-back following each film, and tons of information about ways to get involved with Gesundheit! at a local and national level. Never heard of the Gesundheit Institute? Need more healthcare films to watch? Get yourself ready by watching Patch Adams, a (highly fictional) account of the founder of the Institute. We can't wait to see you there.</font><br>

<font size="3"><strong>FRIDAY! - Jan. 29th -Insurgent Theatre: Ulysses' Crewmen<br>
Music by Mark Enslin</strong></font>
</p>
<p>
<font size="3"><font size="2">A militant dissenter abuses her hostage from the US delegation while faintly aware of the audience surrounding her. This claustrophobic scene creates a space for radical introspection, defiant theatre and tactical conversations. With only a few props, two actors, one of who is bound and gagged, and a serious commitment to DIY politics, Insurgent Theatre refutes ancient dogmas found in Homer's Odyssey and examines the psychosexual underpinnings of empire and rebellion. <br>
<br>

Starring Kate Pleuss and Ben Turk <br>
<br>
Music by Mark Enslin will combine a shredded avant flamenco guitar piece, Church Committee testimony with toys & percussion, and a wall of idiosyncratic keyboard... <br>

Female, Trans, and Family TBP members and first time visitors are invited to participate in a welcoming and nearly testosterone free co-op.<br>
Winter is a perfect time for tuning up and overhauling your bike. If you are riding through the winter TBP volunteers have lots of tips on how to stay warm and safe.<strong><br>
<br>
Bike Fit Clinic</strong> - Sunday, January 31st from 2-3PM<br>
A short bike fit clinic will be provided by member and Crow Dog bike fit business owner Karen Partlow. If you're looking to buy a bike, the size of the bike is the first detail you will need. <br>
<br>
<strong>TBP Staffed hours will be open as per usual</strong>. See the website for the latest open hours (<a href="http://www.thebikeproject.org" target="_blank">www.thebikeproject.org</a>). <br>
<br>
<strong>Member DIY Hours Suspended until Spring</strong><br>
The expanded Member DIY hours are being discontinued until it warms back up so that the hours will be more utilized.<br>
In the meantime we will be refocusing the TBP Americorp Volunteer on starting up a youth Earn-a-Bike Program.<br>
<br>
Member DIY Hours were in addition to the regular staffed hours.
Regular Staffed Hours are still in effect and have not been
discontinued.<br>
