* Student Massimo finished last week. He seemed to enjoy himself, had lots of support from the shop managers. He did a lot-- Colin wishes we had more time & money to do more stuff with it. We did not get the Waste Reduction grant again, which could have helped with that. He did a bunch of analysis on our social media, who's responding, how are they responding, etc. Most unexpected finding: 75% of our 1000 members received it free with a bike purchase (lots of room for growth). | * Student Massimo finished last week.

* Got CIOG grant, not for full $16k but for 11k. Rebecca starting to look at what's next-- project-based funding, or funding for the right to ride program (we can put in our tip-at-the-till income as a starting place / matching; there could be an anti-racism angle). Should hear from Eco Trust soon. | * Got CIOG grant, not for full $16k but for 11k.

Heather suggests we could send a spontaneous cash mob, or a bike crawl. People had good response to the post on Sugared and Spiced "tell me more businesses to support." | ||
