Robert's Rules of Order
by Todd Spinner 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

How many bike co-ops out there use Robert's Rules of Order or at least some form of that to run their meetings? It has been in our bylaws for a decade but we have not been using it and our meetings have suffered. We have one member who is questioning the value or even that there are successful organizations that use it effectively. If you have tried it and it did not work well, what has worked better? Thanks, Todd The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign -- Todd Spinner

Working Bikes Bike!Bike! Workshop Idea
by Devon Snyder 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

Hi Bike Community! Working Bikes is going to be out in full force at the upcoming Bike!Bike! in October. We are interested in putting together a panel discussion on local donation programs. Specially, we are hoping to have a conversation with other shops that have local donation models that differ from our own. At WB, we work directly with social service orgs, schools, community groups, and special events when coordinating our local donations. So, if you have an earn-a-bike program or a local donation program that is set-up differently and are going to be at B!B!, let us know! We would love to coordinate a discussion to present at the conference. Feel free to email me directly or give us a call! devon(a)workingbikes.org | 773-657-8419 Thanks everyone! Cheers, Devon Snyder Community Engagement Manager, Working Bikes -- *Devon Snyder, Community Engagement Manager, Working Bikes* *2434 S Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60608* *773-657-8419* *Pronouns: She/Her/Hers* *devon(a)workingbikes.org <devon(a)workingbikes.org>* <http://www.workingbikes.org>

Youth Bike Programs and Insurance Policies
by Audrey Wiedemeier 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

Hello All: We here at the Bike Library are very interested in getting a teen program started. We have identified five young adults that have been knocking on the door, and have agreed to help get a youth program off the ground. What insurance do you have? (We are with WestBend and they don't allow anyone under the age of 18 to volunteer). Do you have language that supports the youth program that you use for your insurance? Do you require background checks when working with minors? Any information you have on starting a teen bike program would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, y'all. Peace & grease, *Audrey Wiedemeier* (She/her/hers) Iowa City Bike Library, Director 700 S.
