Great screen shots, Howard!

whoo hoo! YES a drinking game laura, and thanks shar! i braided it so it'd fit nicely under my cycling cap with ear flaps, but one of the cameramen asked me and iggi to take our hats off. i was especially bummed because my hat matched the shirt really well, but what can you do. howard, um, please don't be my lice :)

great job on the shirts, they look stellar! and thanks to the BW chairs for a great idea!

It was Lowell's idea! Anyone have a BW volunteer idea for January or Feb? I was thinking Night Ministry van. We can stand out in the cold better than anyone!

This was a lot of fun...though a major part of the fun was getting to hang out with the other awesome bike winter folks!

I agree that Night Ministry might be a good fit since we're adept at being out in the cold.

We also could commit to doing a shipping party for Working Bikes. I've seen those come up, and am a bit embarrassed that I've never actually done one.

The foodbank also offers volunteer opportunities that we could consider as well.

Well, we could produce bike winter products and then sell them at a profit.  There are also some events that will provide a donation to a group in exchange for them providing volunteers.  I know some concessions stand organizations will do this during games, but I don't know who to contact for that.

 

For next year we could do a bike winter volunteer group for Bike the Drive to get that donation, though there is a lot of overlap within groups to make that happen.

 

We could always do a bake sale.  Or have a bike winter table at the swap with donated items and have all of the profits go to bike winter.

 

I do think it's valuable to have bike other volunteering experiences, so we shouldn't disregard those.
