Call for Volunteers: Upcoming Hours & Events (Mid-September to Early-October)

[Ian Ogden]

Making use of some infrequently-used roman numerals this week--quite a lot coming up, including four goings-on this weekend.

I. FRIDAY, 9/19: A2Zero Green Fair

5-8 PM, Downtown Ann Arbor (Main St b/w Huron and Washington)

Tomorrow evening! Andre S. will be hosting a mobile pop-up / occupying a Main St. parking space for this year's Green Fair. Though usually a pretty relaxed event, it appears we could use 1-2 more volunteers from 6:30-8 PM (and someone to take a few photos, if interested).

Feel free to sign up below -

II. SATURDAY, 9/20: Bikeapalooza

12-2 PM, 350 S. Fifth Ave. (Old Y Lot)

This Saturday! The community's collective mind packed with ideas following the Green Fair, sixteen hours later, our friends at the DDA are hosting this year's Bikeapalooza to celebrate infrastructural successes, show riders around the downtown bikeways, and learn some urban riding skills.

We'll be hanging out and helping folks work on their bikes for the duration. Sign up to come hang out with us on the permeable asphalt, or drop by to say hello -
