Sheepskin trail
by Patrick Kelley 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi everyone! I am trying to get 20 people (realistically I will be happy if I'm not the only one there) to show up for the Fayette county commissioners meeting at the 911 building across from the courthouse at 10 am. The goal is to use the public comments section to express interest in Marcellus impact fees being directed toward the sheepskin trail. For more background information contact me at pkelley83(a)yahoo.com. Hope to see some of you there! Sent from my iPhone

On the Road - Kids earn a free ride by working for it
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

CBS's On the Road with Steve Hartman just aired a program <http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57593559/in-n.j-kids-earn-a-free-ride…> about how kids in Asbury Park, NJ earn a free bicycle after 15 hours of volunteer work in a Community Bicycle Shop named Second Life Bikes <http://www.secondlifebikes.org/>. What many of you may not know is that this Summer, BOPARC has been running an Earn-A-Bike program on top of Positive Spin's core bicycle recycling program. We are hoping they return to work in the shop and give back to the community, too! http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57593559/in-n.j-kids-earn-a-free-ride… -Jonathan PS: Yes, as usual we are open tomorrow, Saturday, 1-5 pm.

Re: [Positive Spin] PS Phone Calls for today
by Will Ravenscroft 28 May '13

28 May '13

People Thanks to Jonathan for answering our phone. There were 6 bikes and an old stationary exercise bike on the loading dock at engineering so I moved them down to spin Tuesday morning. One bike might be salvageable, the others are either parts or international shipping. I picked up the kids bike at Christian Help. Cheryl, the director, was in meeting so I did not get any information on the person who wanted a bike.
