== FREE PICKLE Day ==<br />
<br />
===WHO can participate?===<br />
Any community bike shop, anywhere!<br />
<br />
===WHAT is FREE PICKLE Day?===<br />
FREE PICKLE Day is inspired by [ http://www.oldspokeshome.com/entry/free-pickle Old Spokes Home Community Bike Shop]. They offered a coupon for a free pickle with every purchase during a two-week period. It's a day when community bike shops offer free pickles to patrons and volunteers.<br />
''<br />
"I was thinking, what if ALL the bike collectives celebrated FREE PICKLE Day? Or FREE PICKLE WEEK, even. It could be a pickle with every purchase, ending in a big ole' pickle potluck/feast like with sauerkraut and kimchee and pickle bucket panniers (I recommend pickled ginger) works. I mean, seriously. You could even sanitize some spokes and serve pickles on spokes. it could be maybe even used as a fundraiser or volunteer lure event if you're due for one of those."''<br />
<br />
===WHAT KIND of pickles?===<br />
Cucumbers are traditional, but you can use ANY kind of pickles! If you can grow it, there's a good chance you can pickle it. If it's pickled, you can offer it on FREE PICKLE Day.<br />
<br />
===WHEN is FREE PICKLE Day?===<br />
That depends! <br />
<br />
* If your community bike shop wants to attract '''new patrons''', FREE PICKLE Day might be the '''first Saturday of spring.'''<br />
* If your community bike shop wants to attract '''over-wintering volunteers''', FREE PICKLE DAY might be the '''first Tuesday of autumn.'''<br />
* If your community bike shop is looking to throw a pickle potluck, whenever you're due for a fiesta will do.<br />
* Etc.<br />
<br />
===WHERE is FREE PICKLE Day?===<br />
''List your FREE PICKLE Day event here''<br />
* Old Spokes Home Community Bike Shop - 2016<br />
*<br />
<br />
===WHY is FREE PICKLE Day?===<br />
* To lure people to your community bike shop<br />
* To bring joy to your community<br />
* To celebrate the long tradition of having snacks on hand at community bike shops<br />
* To pickles<br />
* <br />
<br />
===HOW do I throw a FREE PICKLE Day?===<br />
List it here and mention it on the Think Tank listserv so we can share in your joy. Distribute free pickles on a day of your choosing. Everything else is optional:<br />
<br />
* Tell your local media: radio, TV, newspapers, and other local information distribution organizations & websites. You can send them a "press release." This is basically an email that lists the who/what/when/where/why/how of FREE PICKLE DAY. The "HOW" would be how their audience can get a free pickle.<br />
* Send an email to another non-profit in your neighborhood. Team up with them. Invite them to join you in FREE PICKLE Day. Then you get their outreach and you strengthen your connections in the community.<br />
* Print and distribute fliers<br />
* Get a massive donation of pickles. How to get pickles: <br />
** You have a pickle-obsessed gardener among you.<br />
** Several volunteers have an unopened jar of pickles at home<br />
** Bust out the ole' non-profit tax ID and contact all the pickle-selling stores in town. Ask for pickle donations. <br />
* Host a pickle tongue-twister contest with a picklicious reward.</div>Angel
