Registration problem? ---------- Message transféré ---------- De : "Suzzette Bernard" <suzzette.bernard(a)gmail.com> Date : 17 juil. 2017 8:22 AM Objet : Re: [Bike!Bike! Organizing] Registration and some other stuff À : "Magaly Paquet" <magaly3paquet(a)gmail.com> Cc : Hi Magaly, When I tried to register today for Bike!Bike!, I never received a confirmation email. It didn't even appear in spam. I'll try again tomorrow. I would like to offer two workshops, presented by myself: (1) Bike Shop Age Dynamics. Our little shop has always gotten along and the shop managers have ranged in age from 20 to nearly 70. We've been asked what's our secret because other shops have had difficulties between the older and younger staff/volunteers. This workshop would be for those who would like to discuss those issues and hopefully we could provide suggestions how we've managed to succeed where others have failed. The second (2) workshop celebrates our 16+ year history and managing not only to subsist, successfully, but also have managed to remain small. We have also always been all-volunteer. Does size really matter? Can you survive... better yet, thrive, while also remaining small and solely volunteer based? Maybe we can offer some reasons. If you add these workshops, you can say they will be run by Worcester Worcester Earn A Bike would be making a group donation as well as individual donations. We will decide on the exact amount by the beginning of August. I personally will be arriving a few days early. I hope to help you set up, should you need help. I won't be needing housing because I will be staying at a hotel. I'll be bringing my own bike so I won't need a loaner.
