Thanks to everyone who joined or renewed their CORBA/IMBA membership during our recent membership drive. Anyone who joined or renewed between the August 31st announcement and the Girlz Gone Riding Rocktoberfest on October 18th was eligible to win a new 2015 CORBA Jersey. At the GGR event we had several last minute memberships, which brought the number up to 70! We had such a successful campaign, that we drew four winners instead of the planned two! Joanne Richards was one of the late renewals, and was present to take home her jersey. Katy E. from San Pedro, John Wallace. from Ventura and Peter Adamson. from Torrance will be receiving theirs by mail.
For those who didn’t win a jersey, they are available for purchase from Voler for $65 plus tax. Details are at Voler, and a portion of the proceeds comes back to CORBA.
While CORBA’s Membership Drive is over, IMBA’s Fall Membership Drive is still going on. Anyone who joins or renews their CORBA/IMBA membership between October 2nd and November 15 will be eligible for a number of prizes, including lights, hydration packs, and even a two-day mountain biking getaway.
We rely on membership dollars to fund our programs, to give at-risk youth the chance to ride a mountain bike, to restore and repair trails, to meet with land managers to propose new trails, to plan, build and maintain bike parks. We depend on membership numbers to make sure that when we speak to land managers, they know we speak for a large and growing community, and they listen. Your membership makes a difference.
We truly appreciate the support we receive from you as members and volunteers. Help us grow by encouraging your friends who aren’t yet members to join.
