Weekly Update
Associated Project(s):Hello all, last week was good. We had a lot of people in and we had some good times. We sold 7 bikes for $940, 2 build-a-bikes for $110, 5 student memberships, 4 community memberships, and grossed $2119.50. We have intergrated the new database to the point that we are giving out cards with memberships, and have made some extra cash finding people who didn't realize their membership expired. I worked on some advocacy items. The Center was flooded with donations from Baker's Bikes. We got 2 truck loads of good stuff. Some was taken to the Urbana shop some to Campus.
This coming week is extra short since I am taking off Friday. I will just be trying to keep my head above water. There will be LTN work, sorting and preparing bikes for shipment as well as organizing the pickup. I will also be working on getting classes going and advertised as well as building bikes to replenish our stock.

Weekly Update
Associated Project(s):Hello all, this past week was busy. We lots of people coming in and lots of projects. We sold 2 bikes for $230, 1 build-a-bike for $70, 7 memberships for $175, and grossed $1090.50. We got a bunch of bikes from the warehouse helping to clear out mid semester bikes before they get spring abandon bikes. I also got some bikes from the City of Champaign. I contacted Working Bikes and am coordinating a pickup with them to get rid of unwanted bikes. I built some bikes and worked on some LTN items. CCNet visited the shop. It was a good tour/visit. The wheel building class finished well with many folks having built fine wheels.
This week I will be building bikes and working on a pickup for the unwanted bikes. I will be building bikes, and looking to remove another 30-40 from the warehouse that are from the mid semester pickup. I will also be working on doing some classes again on Thursdays before we open.

Attached Files:Weekly Update
Associated Project(s):Hello all, last week was incredibly busy. We had lots of events and things going on, but we made it happen. A lot of people came in wanting bikes thanks to Lily's submission of apparently great ad copy to the E-Week e-mail. Armand from the Soy Bean Innovation Lab bought 5 bikes, but I wont be counting them until I get a check. We sold 19 bikes for $2430, 1 build-a-bike for $60, 1 community membership for $30, 2 student memberships for $50, and grossed $3199. Again once I get the check from the soy bean lab it will go up $610 and 5 bikes. We supported the cool Bike-From-Work-Day station that Lily put on, held a class on wheel building, and a class on machining bike frames. Lily and I worked on the cargo bike program, meeting with the University Architect. It sounds like an uphill battle, but we may get them a cargo bike of some kind. Between Morgan and Lily there has been created an demand for workers at F&S to use bikes rather than trucks and vans. I explained to Lily how depts. can purchase bikes from us, but not pay for service or order things since she will be helping them to start these programs.
This coming week we will be cleaning the shop for the visit from CCNet, building bikes to replace the 24 that have been sold, and working on bike assisting Lily in getting bikes for F&S. I will also be working with Lily and the Library on getting them a cargo bike.
