Sibley Bike Depot - Volunteer Appreciation Night and Upcoming Programs
Dear Sibley bike lovers,
We at the Depot want to thank you for all of the time and support you have given us. Last week, there was fantastic turn-out for our shop reorganization day. To recognize all of those who have volunteered with us and supported us in a variety of ways, we'd like to invite you to a Volunteer Appreciation Night. Tomorrow - Wednesday June 11th from 6-9pm - we invite you to stop by the shop and hang out with us. There will be food, door prizes, an update on how Sibley is doing, and we'll even be showing a movie!
In other news, the Sibley Bike Depot is currently accepting applications for our next Junior Mechanic certification class. The program is a four-session class for youth ages 12-18. Our next round of classes will take place June 24th, July 1st, 8th and 15th from 4-6pm. Over the course of the program, each participant will receive a bike and learn how to fix it up! An application is attached, and once completed it can be e-mailed to kevinkalla@gmail.com or dropped off at the shop.
We also will be hosting a women's/ transgender open shop night on the first and third Tuesdays of every month from 6:30 to 9pm. Come tune up your own bike or help fix others to be donated to the Center for Victims of Torture. No experience necessary--the mechanics are friendly gals who are happy to show you the ropes.
And finally, we have a wheel-building class coming up this month! The class is $20 to attend or free if you order parts through us. The class will take place June 19 and 26 from 6:30-9pm. E-mail Jason at jtanzman@riseup.net to sign up for the class. Parts must be ordered in advance, so the sign up deadline is 4pm on Sunday, June 15th.
