Business cards

If you are employed, you may have a business card.  If you are unemployed, this card might be called a networking card or calling card.

If you would like to design and print cards, please let us know, we can help you with that task.

Things to remember:

• Provide enough information so you can be found, usually a phone number and email address are enough
• Make your card visually appealing
• Do not get carried away with fonts and colors
• Use the back to post a mini-resume ... your skill sets or jobs you are seeking

This blog post has a few other ideas and points of view: http://www.jimteasley.com/2013/05/appreciation-marketing-business-cards.html#comment-form

Volunteer Opportunity : Community Cycling Center

Volunteer with the Community Cycling Center - Help kids get bikes!

Help the nonprofit, Community Cycling Center, reach their goal of providing bikes to hundreds of children from low income families this year by cleaning and recycling donated kids' bikes. No mechanical experience needed!

Saturday, June 1st, 12:30-3:30pm, Northeast Portland

Mechanics will transform these shiny bikes and reclaimed parts into "new" bikes for kids ages 3-8, keeping useful parts from going into the landfill. By volunteering at the Community Cycling Center, your support will keep kids active, healthy, and connected with their friends, family and neighborhood.

We will be working outside of the bike shop, so please dress for the weather.

The Community Cycling Center, founded in 1994, is a non-profit that broadens access to bicycling and its benefits. Our vision is to build a vibrant community where people of all backgrounds use bicycles to stay healthy and connected.

*Volunteers must be at least 13 years of age.*
