Friends,
Well we have taken a week to breathe, recount, reflect on and otherwise take a tally of our Inaugural Upcycle Ball. And we are so happy to announce that it was a HUGE success.
First and foremost the reports from people who attended have been overwhelmingly positive. Mary Kay and Adam had a great time, as did I, so on behalf of the three of us please accept our most sincere expression of gratitude for making the party great. Of course the Ball was so much more than just a party and it is my pleasure to report that we have more bikes, more money, more parts, more friends, more opportunities, and more energy than ever before!
Then there is money. After paying for the party and collecting from our couple of outstanding (in both senses of the word) silent auction winners we will have raised $3725 from the Upcycle Ball!! That is incredible news for us and made possible by all of you. Again, so much thanks.
In addition to that we collected 8 complete bicycles! We also gathered lots of parts like wheels, handlebars, stems, pedals, tires, and more. More incredible news. With some of our proceeds we have already purchased a cargo bike to allow us to start doing more mobile shops, some web services and a storage unit to keep all of these great treasures!!!
Don't miss the high-res photo booth photos brought to us by Volker Neumann and Jillian Betterly!
And, of course Shawn Clark's incredible shots of the party!

Make sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to keep track of our latest news. Our hope is to be announcing some mobile shop agreements soon.
Many, many thanks to you, our dedicated volunteers. We hope you will come join us at an upcoming mobile shop or at the very least the 2nd Annual Upcycle Ball tentatively scheduled for February 2nd, 2013.
Thank you so much for being a part of what we are doing! Together we will transform bikes and individuals, one donation at a time.
See you on the streets.
