We are working hard to spread our message and gain new membership. To do this, we will be printing brochures to mail and display in local businesses. Each Board Member has contributed their own funds to make this possible, yet we still need your help. Consider donating $10, $15, or $25.00 today to enable us to promote walking and bicycling in Berks County.
We sought bids from eight different local printing companies, as well as from large chain businesses, and we have found the lowest cost, by far. We can purchase 500 copies of a tri-fold, full color brochure for $280.00.
If just 11 donors gift $25.00 each -- we will be able to continue the work we've begun. To learn more about what we have accomplished: please some time to browse this blog. With very little funding, we've done some fantastic work towards promoting and improving cycling and walking in our communities. Please help us grow and educate others with your financial gift today. We cannot be successful county-wide without your help.
