Members & Friends,

The 2019 BBP Fall Membership Drive is under way! Will you act today and renew your annual membership (or join as a new or returning member) so that we can continue to bring you great BBP programming like the DIY Shop, Members’ Open Shop, and Friday Night Bikes? 

Last year, we shared stories about the personal benefits of your BBP Membership. You heard from dedicated members like Richard, Yumi, and Bryan, who told you what the shop and the BBP Experience mean to them. 

This year, we’ll be sharing stories about what your BBP Official Membership means to others. Stay tuned for written and video stories about how your membership impacts others in the community who are in need of BBP’s services. 

Our Membership Drive goal this year is for 275 members to renew or join our membership program. We need your help to get there. 

Be an early adopter, and renew or join THIS WEEK (between now Wednesday, October 9) and end of day Tuesday October 15). With your membership commitment in this time span, you’ll be entered into a raffle to win a Brooks England B17 Saddle in Honey! The raffle winner will be contacted and announced on Wednesday, October 16.

Get inspired about your BBP Official Membership, and check out what Bryan has to say. Review your membership benefits, and join or renew. Remember: you can pay all at once or in monthly installments. 

Are you able to give more? Choose a BBP Sustaining Membership. With the Sustaining Membership, you receive all the benefits of the Official Membership. Your extra $100 goes equally to a scholarship fund that provides memberships to our community members needing one and to BBP’s reserve fund,ensure that we can keep our doors open and our programs running through an emergency.

I’m so excited to share stories throughout the BBP 2019 Fall Membership Drive, which runs from now until November 23. Whether you join/renew now or wait until the very last day, I hope that what we share throughout the drive is meaningful to you. My goal is that you know how important your membership is to you, to BBP, and to the community we serve.

Ride on, 

Emily
