From Portia Sinnott of Lite Initiatives:
All of the events below will be held at our new building.
Currently called Synergy, it is located next door to Community Bikes at 4019 Sebastopol Road, which is exactly 4 miles from downtown Sebastopol and 4 miles from downtown Santa Rosa.
Directions: Take Highway 12 to Fulton/Wright Rd south. Turn left onto Sebastopol Road, go about one block and then look for 4019 on the left. Please carpool and bring friends. Drop passengers and goods off and then park on street one block east. Thanks!

5) December 2008 Wish List A
Thanks to the amazing Scout Troop 27, the new building is clean as a whistle, painted (mostly) and ready to be furnished. We have some desks, file cabinets and desk chairs but need many other items to make it a functional office, events venue and skills center:
a) Small refrigerator commonly used in dorms or the slightly taller size that fits under a countertop.
b) Art and information display systems – free standing as well as hung from the ceiling
c) Office furnishings including 25 matching folding chairs and a rack to hold them.
d) Electronic equipment: An up-to-date desktop PC, music system,TV and DVD player
e) Two or three bike trailers to create mobile bike shops for demonstrations and classes at schools and community gatherings. (It would be great if they were similar models; they must be able to carry a compact repair stand, a packet of tools and supplies.)
