Wanted: bicycle repair, office paper, and food
<p>First, let me shout-out to the anonymous member who gave us big boxes of band-aids and Tylenol. My most recent blister especially thanks you for the band-aids.<br /> Speaking of kind gestures, one of our young members, Brigham Geurts, brought his family, his boy scout troop, and many of his church members to build a terrific bike rack for the farm. As sturdy and elegant as it is, it currently rests empty, because all of our bikes are in terrible disrepair and hidden in a barn. If anyone would like to offer their services in <strong>bike repair </strong>(replacing tubes, aligning wheels, tightening brakes, repairing gear shifts...) we will happily offer a share of vegetables for 4 hours work, and we'll cover the cost of parts. <br /> Another way to earn a work share is by <strong>cooking</strong>! We love the great recipes you give us, but nothing beats a prepared meal. Fix enough for the members at your pick-up site to sample, and we'll replace the vegetables you used, and give you an extra share as thanks. Call in advance to make sure we're giving out the vegetables you're cooking that week.<br /> And finally, we hate wasting trees, yet we keep using up our <strong>office paper</strong>. I know lots of you folks work in offices that use one side of your paper--bring it to us and we'll use the other side. No trees wasted and everyone's happy. And thanks to Deborah Sterobin-Armstrong and Sumana Chatterjee for donating so many office supplies!</p>
