IV. SATURDAY, 6/25: Summer Volunteer Orientation

12-2 PM, 416 W Huron

Would you be interested in volunteering with Common Cycle or getting a little more involved? If so, this is the place to start!

We're hosting a volunteer orientation to help folks learn about our workspace, our approach and find out about upcoming volunteer opportunities. *No bike repair experience required!*

Additionally, if you've been volunteering with Common Cycle for a while and would like to get more involved, we'll simultaneously be running a training for potential event leads / Public Hours hosts. During this parallel session, we'll go over what to expect as a Public Hours / Open Shop host and attendees will also have a chance to meet current volunteers and board members.

If you plan on attending one of these orientations, please RSVP by emailing volun...@commoncycle.org or via the Facesbook.

V. SATURDAY, 6/25: YMCA Block Party

12-3 PM, 416 W Huron

Common Cycle will be supporting the local YMCA''s summer block party next Saturday.  Of all of our mobile events, the equipment-haul for this one could almost be done by foot. (Hmm...)
