The ReCYCLEry Advisory Board met for its quarterly meeting Tuesday, July 22nd, and has mapped out one of the most active seasons to come! We've received a lot of media attention lately and a huge surge in community participation and we'd like to give a preview of what's on our plate.

First and foremost, we are looking for more people interested in regularly volunteering at the ReCYCLEry and assisting with the influx of participants, and we will also be searching for qualified candidates to join the Advisory Board this fall.

We are sad to have one of our wonderful Board members, Bonnie Corbin, leaving us for Washington D.C. We'll miss you Bonnie!

Our fall plans are huge! We will be having an 8th Anniversary Celebration, Fundraiser and Cruiser Ride on Sunday, October 26th. The fundraising is to help fund an extended series of Mobile Repair Days, where we get groups of volunteers together to travel to local under-served communities, and teach kids how to work on bikes and let them participate to earn a bike.

The website is due for a major CMS upgrade, which will entail some design changes, but primarily will fix technical issues and open up our ability to interact with the public. We are tentatively discussing opening a sub-domain with a public forum.

We've redone our mission statement, and we are finally getting close to providing a decent history of the ReCYCLEry, and full descriptions of our programs. We will be posting our policy regarding kids under 16, and offering our permission form online.

We'll be posting information on all of this and more as it comes in... stay tuned and c'mon down!
