I know many of you are activists in the community, and bike riders
also, so I'd like to share information regarding the upcoming
8th Anniversary Celebration for the ReCYCLEry.  WXYC's own Ethan
Clauset has agreed to be one of the djs for the event.

thanks, Kirk Schmidt

The ReCYCLEry  is celebrating its first 8th anniversary by hosting a  
fun-filled family-oriented gathering on October 26th that will  
include food, music, cruiser-style bike rides and more.  Located at  
the Southern Rail Restaurant near Weaver Street Market, the event  
will run from 2-6 pm and will welcome hundreds of community members  
who have volunteered their time and skills, their support, or have  
benefited from the work of The ReCYCLEry over the past eight years.   
All are welcome to join!  Suggested donation per person: $8.


Who:  Community members, bike mechanics, bike-enthusiasts, children  
and their parents, elected officials, transportation gurus, public  
health leaders, teachers, and people who will pay the suggested  
donation just to join us for some free Southern Rail tater tots!

When:  SAVE THE D8! Sunday, October 26th 2-6 pm (The ReCYCLEry will  
not be open to the public on this day)

Where:  Southern Rail   201-C East Main Street, Carrboro, North  
Carolina,  27510

What:  Guided bike tours around Chapel Hill and Carrboro for all  
experience levels, light food, beer, music, information about an  
upcoming bike collection drive though Performance, Volunteer  
Appreciation awards, and much more.

Why:  The ReCYCLEry is a non-profit organization that provides a  
creative workspace to connect salvaged bikes with active community  
members, creates opportunities for skill building and volunteerism,  
and seeks to increase the use of the bicycle for both transportation  
and recreation. The group settled it’s current location a couple of  
years ago, has an advisory board of 6 members, and a volunteer corps  
of over 400 individuals.  This year, we celbrate 8 years of existence  
and honor the past while generating support for the future.

A suggested donation of $8 (only $1 per year of existence!) will help  
fund continuing programs such as our fall Mobile Repair Days where we  
pack a mini-shop onto bike trailers and ride to underserved  
communities distributing bikes and teaching basic maintenance.  All  
donations are tax-deductible and donations of any amount will be  
greatly appreciated.
