Fellow Grand Vision Benzie members:
I just wanted to pass along an invitation for you to join the Friends
of the Benzie Bus group, which is working to promote a Yes! vote in
the May 3rd election to "renew and restore" funding to keep the Benzie
Bus system rolling for another 5 years.
There are many ways to join our Friends group: We meet weekly at the
First Congregational Church in Benzonia. We have a weekly email update
that you can receive. We have a Support/Endorsement Form that you can
fill out to be included on our published list of supporters, to make a
donation, to request a Vote Yes! yard sign, etc. You can download the
Support Form on our website here:
http://benziebusyes.org/supporter .
We have a Facebook page:

As you are all aware, the Benzie Bus is an important part of Benzie
County and the region. The service it provides is very much inline
with the Grand Vision. I hope that Friends of the Benzie Bus can
count on each of you for support as we work towards keeping the buses
rolling in Benzie County by encouraging all to Vote YES! on May 3,
2011. As you may recall, we did a video for our Grand Vision even in
October at Crystal Mountain that featured the Benzie Bus as a good
example of Grand Vision Transportation principles. Here's the link to
that

We also are encouraging people to share their story or thoughts about
the Benzie Bus on our website
http://benziebusyes.org/tell-your-benzie-bus-story
. We will be using these stories to illustrate the impact that the
Benzie Bus has had on our friends, neighbors, groups, and business in
Benzie County, as we work towards victory in the Benzie Bus election.
See the front page of today's Benzie County Record Patriot for details
about the election too!
Look forward to seeing you at tomorrow's Grand Vision meeting at the
Government Center.
Thanks,
Jon Maue
Campaign Coordinator
