Volunteer to-do list

These are one-time volunteer jobs that don't require additional commitments beyond the completion of each job.

• Create signs for the shop. This is great job for someone that is really creative. We need signs for inside the shop, outside the shop and on the Goshen Re-Cycles Trailers. We have some paint, markers, and stands for outdoor signs, but someone with some creative genious could do whatever they want!

• Install storage rails at the CycleWorks for the Goshen Re-Cycles trailers. This project has to wait until the sliding door has been installed. All hardware will be purchased by Chain Reaction.

• Install protective metal grates over the alley windows at the CycleWorks.

• Repair leaks in the CycleWorks roof.

• Build a rack system in the CycleWorks to orgaznize fenders and handlebars. The wall space has been picked out and there is lumber and hardware available.

• Build a rack system in the CycleWorks to organize tubes.

• Build a system in the CycleWorks to organize cables and housing.

• General CycleWorks cleanup. During the winter the area around the CycleWorks building becomes a favorite snow depository for snow plows. After the snow melts, lots of rocks and other debris are left behind. We have a nice new push broom for this job.
