Weekly Digest
Associated Project(s):We were closed all last week for the break.
We’re ramping up for our Kids Bike Giveaway event. We even got some coverage on WCIA: https://www.wcia.com/news/champaign-county/annual-bike-giveaway-planned-for-dec-14-in-urbana/
As is, we’re a little low on donations compared to years’ past, so hopefully this’ll be a good bump.
This evening is a lecture/instructional class on bike repair, but with colder and snowier weather, attendance will likely be low.

Transportation iCAP Team October Meeting

Attached Files:Weekly Update
Associated Project(s):All, Manageable levels of busyness last week. I think our visit numbers have declined slightly, which makes sense for the time of year. Highlights of the week: Received a couple worthwhile direct donations. Fixed up a couple kids’ bikes. Had a student staff interview. Got a few B-a-Bs out the door. The law professor who’s into bikes has become a regular Friday volunteer.
The TBP Monthly Member meeting is tonight, which I will attend. This week is also the deadline for abandoned bike retrieval, so I will do a rough inventory of keep/scrap. We also may table at the Green Quad Day, if I have available staff since it overlaps with our open hours. Have a lot of loose wheels that are of questionable quality that we need to deal with, too.
The numbers:
Visitors: 82
Sales: 865.51
Bikes (B-a-B): 3 for $160
Memberships: 8 for $240
