Bylaw Revisions for Consideration

Omnibus Amendment

Proposals Background: We replaced our old bylaws with an entirely new set in early 2009. While the new ones have generally worked well, we have found that there are a number of places where the specific language is unnecessarily confusing or vague. There are also some typographical errors.

Proposal: Effective upon approval by the membership, the bylaws will be amended as described in the attached document. To review proposed bylaw revisions, visit http://www.mariposa.coop/?p=1299

Mariposa Food Co-op Community Education Series

Our first Bicycle Ambassador workshop, Urban Riding Basics, was a great success! Attendees learned many useful tips on traffic safety and cycling. The next two workshops on flat tire repair and bicycle cleaning will be equally informative. Workshops are free and open to all members and non-members.

Bicycle Ambassador Workshop 2–Fix-A-Flat Clinic
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
6PM-7PM
Location: Cedar Park (between 49th and 50th Streets on Baltimore Avenue)

One of the most useful maintenance skills to develop once you decide to ride is how to fix your own flat tire.  Flats happen and it is less expensive and faster to change your own. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bicycles but it is not required.  Class size varies from 10-15 depending on how many people bring bikes. To RSVP, contact Jakey at jakey@mariposa.coop.

Bicycle Ambassador Workshop 3–Bicycle Cleaning 101
Tuesday, August 24, 2010
6PM-7PM
Location: The Woodlands (Here’s a link to a map with the location of the garden)

Have you ever actually cleaned your bicycle?  All participants are encouraged to bring their bicycles and learn how to clean all of the nooks and crannies.  A clean bike is a happy bike.  Workshop is limited to 10 participants with bicycles. To RSVP, contact Jakey at jakey@mariposa.coop.
