About
July 1st is Postal Worker Appreciation Day!
And what better way to show appreciation to the postal worker who knows you best (ie: your mail carrier) than by actually checking your mail and grabbing all the junk mail thats been sitting in there for weeks, bringing it to this ride, and then
MAKING ORIGAMI WITH IT
Bring your bike, bring your red plums (pictured) and local newspapers (Southeast Examiners, Street Roots--after you've read them, of course) and any other stuff in your mailbox that you have and don't need and let's get crafting!
Afterwards we'll ride bikes and pass as many post offices as possible. Depending on the size of the ride there may be a *bonus* post office or two to add to make the ride more exciting😈
