As you may know the East Atlanta Beer Fest gave SoPo a challenge. If SoPo can raise $2,000, they will match it.
We are taking the next step to help raise the money to take on EABF challenge. From now until we raise $2,000; all monies donated during our Saturday shop hours will go to our Stock The Shop Fund and it will be counted towards the EABF matching grant challenge!
So come by the shop to work on your bikes, bring some treats, the weather will get better and better, and get ready for more bike riding! Donate money on Saturday and help us meet this challenge. When we meet the $2,000 goal; its going to double thanks to the generosity of the East Atlanta Beer Fest!
If you can't make it on a Saturday and still want to make a donation for the EABF challenge. Stop by the shop during our open shop hours and let the shop manager know that you want your money to go to the EABF challenge. Mail us a check and place a note that its for the EABF challenge. Or donate through PayPal right here and it'll be added to the EABF challenge total.
As always, we appreciate your help and donations.

News: SoPo Needs A New Home
Dear Friends,Sopo is currently seeking a new home! Our shop has been housed in a small space in East Atlanta Village for the last five years, but we now face an imminent move. As of April of 2012, we will no longer be located at 465-C Flat Schoals Ave. Although we have had the luxury of low rent since our founding, we anticipate increased costs with a new space, thus we are writing to ask your support for our first ever SOPO RENT FUND.
We are committed to continuing to serve our loyal local community, and we are looking for roughly the same amount of space (or more) as our current home. We would love your ideas and input, so please direct all inquires or info to space@lists.scehardt.com
