    Today we are planning a small community workshop. The goal is to teach six people how to repair a bicycle puncture. Maya will bring the tools, and Sam will prepare a one-page checklist. We will meet at the library on Saturday at ten in the morning. Before Friday, we need to confirm the room and ask participants to bring their own bicycles. After the workshop, we will collect feedback and decide whether to run another session next month.
