I can't remember if this got posted to Bikies, so I'm posting it anyway.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Betsy Popelka Massnick <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 11:01 AM Subject: RSVP today to attend the Bike Fed Booster training next Tuesday, 2/26! To: Betsy Popelka Massnick <[email protected]> Hi volunteers, I am still looking for several more volunteers to step up and join the ranks as potential *Bike Fed Boosters*! As a reminder, Bike Fed Boosters are members of the Bike Fed who are energetic and enthusiastic supporters of bicycling in Wisconsin. Bike Fed Boosters can be found helping to engage and recruit new Bike Fed members at many exciting and fun events. Boosters make a commitment of attending and supporting at least three events a year. I will be holding a fun and easy training on *Tuesday, February 26th from 5:30-7:30 pm* at our Madison office, 409 E Main Street, 2nd floor. You'll get a chance to meet other passionate bicycle supporters and enjoy *FREE pizza and beer*! Please let me know as soon as you can if you'll be able to attend. We don't want to run out of pizza! If we don't get enough Boosters, we will need to reschedule. If you're not sure you're ready to make the commitment of three events or are unsure of what it means to be a Booster, please come anyway and we'll convince you of how fun and fulfilling it can be! Thanks! Betsy On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 1:08 PM, Betsy Popelka Massnick < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi volunteers, > > Happy Valentine's Day!
