<p>Beau, thanks for phone call. I understand your May meeting is cancelled. </p>
<p>I spoke with Brian K at I. Farm & he shared his thoughts that using a model similiar to what the bicycle Hub does downtown is something you might want to consider.</p>
<p>Many of us rarely lend out our professional tools, since it takes time to maintain & repair..</p>
<p>And there are some types of tools that are easier to lend out and don't take so much time to repair.</p>
<p>Keep us all in the loop,…</p>

<p>Keep us all in the loop, and we'll support you as we're able. Hope to see you at one of the work-parties or transition workshops.</p>
<p>There are many of us that believe investing in sturdy hand tools is one of the wisest investments we can make.</p> Hi Beau! I checked the BUGS w…tag:transitionwhatcom.ning.com,2011-05-16:2723460:Comment:513412011-05-16T20:19:42.996ZHeather Khttp://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/HeatherK

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I can recommend some garden & farm hand tools. I noticed you don't have any Broad Forks, which are used for hand cultivation of established annual beds. There is especially a need for neighborhoods to share hand tools, that require less maintenance, and less fossil fuels than rototillers & tractors.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Let us know the date & time of the May 18<sup>th</sup> initial meeting if you are wanting more folks to be involved.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> I will try to attend if you can pass on details.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">You might also want to connect with some of the folks at CLSR and at Sustainable Bellingham. Also, there is a guy on fourthcornerexchange who offers tool sharpening! </p> Okay just a little update if…tag:transitionwhatcom.ning.com,2011-03-08:2723460:Comment:453712011-03-08T04:49:11.003Zbeauhttp://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/beau
<p>Okay just a little update if you go to the BUGS website <a href="http://www.bellinghamurbangardens.org" target="_blank">www.bellinghamurbangardens.org</a> and go to the tool share you will see our first role out of spring tools, in the next couple of days we will have a calendar so you can reserve any of these three fine tools. The next tools we are hoping to add are a precision seeder and a couple of broad forks happy farming!</p>

<p>In the next couple of days through the B.U.G.S. website i will have a listing of a few tools that will help people with spring coming. Mostly everything will be taken care of by me until a different model can be found that will work. this will not be exclusive to any neighborhoods and will be for anyone who is interested. In May we are planning a meeting and will update as soon as we know more. </p>
<p>Thanks Beau</p>
