To all you great Biking volunteers!
This is just a reminder to everyone who said they might be able to help
Volunteer with getting the new Wheels for Winners shop set up:
This Saturday, Feb. 2nd at 10 AM (or anytime between 10AM and 5PM) we will be
meeting to get STARTED!
If anyone has any special skills, please contact us through this e-mail
address, or feel free to call me (Mark Evans) at:
227-4160 (days)
or
663-0064 (evenings)
We specifically want to know who might be bringing some carpentry skills (we'll
be building bike racks with wood) and power type tools. If you have plumbing or
electrical skill, let us know that too. We may be just doing some assessments
of what to do (hanging and wiring lights, installing a wash sink) or just
getting ideas. The previous outline will follow this message.
Of course we always need people to just lend some encouragement, sing some
songs, sweep up some dust, or just brainstorm ideas. Maybe you will have some
nifty, thrifty ideas on how to dress up the shop and make it look great.
Hope to see some of you down at the new digs on Saturday!
Cheers!

Wheels for Winners is Moving!
Following the tragic flooding of our shop on Pennsylvania Avenue, Wheels for
Winners Earn-a-Bike Program has successfully signed a lease for an exciting
new location. We would love all of our friends to come out and help us to
spruce up the new digs and to help us move in. We have two work days set up
for general mass volunteer help.
Saturday, February 2: WORK DAY! This will be the day for
building/reconstructing racks, installing a shop sink, adding electrical
outlets, etc. It would also be a fine day to start moving smaller items, such
as parts bins, and office equipment. Especially need those who have expertise
in plumbing, electrical work, or construction. We may also begin
deconstruction of bike storage at old shop if we have enough volunteers.
Meet at the new shop at 10am at 229 S Fair Oaks Ave (At corner of Atwood and
Fair Oaks in same building as the clothing shop. Our entrance is around back
by the giant garage door.). We will go until 5pm or later depending on
interest. Drop-ins welcome for however long you'd like to stay.
Saturday, February 9: MOVING DAY! This is when the bulk of the move will
occur. We need all hands, all vehicles, and as many strong backs as we can
muster.
Meet at the old shop at 10am at 2310 Pennsylvania Ave (Near Oscar
MeyerÂ…between 1st and 6th Street). We will go until 5pm or later depending on
interest. Drop-ins welcome for however long you'd like to stay.
The wish list:
- Lumber: 2x4's and 2x6's for racks, framing lumber and subfloor
- Bike hooks
- Shop sink, faucet, and plumbing supplies
- Shop lights, 4-socket wall outlets, electrical wire and nuts
- The talents of a plumber
- The talents of an electrician
- Replacements for any office supplies that were damaged/destroyed.
- People with power tools and hand tools on Feb 2nd
- People with trucks, vans, and trailers on Feb 9th
- People willing to carry stuff on Feb 9th
