Mobo’s trip to Bike!Bike! (the annual international conference of Not-for-profit Bicycle Projects) at the end of August spurred a flurry of activity about the coop!  Members who went learned about how other coops are doing what they do, and three of us even gave workshops!  Katie talked about managing conflict, Gabe spread the word on how to stay sane with kids, and Lucia enlightened both Americans and Canadians who attended the conference about how to work best with at-risk youth.

And most importantly the crew came back with great ideas about how to move forward with Mobo.  They will be discussing some of the good ideas that were shared at the next board meeting (Sept. 27th for those of you who would like to hear more).  They saw some excitingly organized shops up in Minnesota and have planned how we can calm the chaos in Mobo’s parts room.  Keep an eye on the calendar for the volunteer days in October when you can come to partake in completely revamping the back room.

PARTS ROOM REHAB:

Sunday October 4th 10:00am-2:00pm

Sunday Oct. 11th 10:00am-2:00pm

(Overflow) Saturday Oct. 24th 12:00pm-3:00pm

We will be needing volunteers who want to help make the back room a better place for digging out the perfect derailleur and set of handlebars.  We have big ideas!  And will have coffee for those early Sundays.  If you would like to be involved in the planning or execution, please send Jess an email at PRforMobo@gmail.com or just show up on the days mentioned.

…We will be accepting cookie donations for the hardworking volunteers.  Thank you!!!
