Hello LMB Region Google Groups Faithful!!

Last week an amazing opportunity was brought to our attention, LMB was nominated for the Chase Community Giving Program where the top 196 vote earning charities receive a share of $5 million! We need to get as many votes as possible, which is where you come in!

Please go to Chase Community Giving's application on Facebook, here. The link will take you right to our profile within the app. Before you vote, you'll need to allow the app's permissions. Once you do that, you can use the two votes for any two charities you like! Please vote for us and then share the link it gives you with your friends! If they vote, then you get an extra vote, which we hope you will use to give us another vote!  You do have to use both of your original votes before they let you use the extra earned votes that you get when you share the link.

The voting closes on September 19th, so vote early, encourage your friends and please use all the votes you can for us! For those of you who prefer to see what you are clicking on, here is the link in its entirety: https://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/charity/view/ein/38-2418387?ref=b392f1773d

You may be wondering what we would do with this money, and that's a great question!

There are several projects that we're very excited to roll out, one of which is already in motion. If you'd like to learn more, read on!

LMB Economic Impact Survey

LMB is currently conducting a pilot survey of bicycle tour organizers and participants to show how bicycling and bicycling tourism impact Michigan's economy. We currently have 600+ responses from 17 events around Michigan and we hope to have many more by the end of the season. We would be able to expand our efforts in this area for next season much more easily if we receive this grant money. If you are an event organizer and would like to participate in the survey and promote the survey with your event participants, please contact Augie at Au...@LMB.org for more information.

Share the Road Campaign
We also have a plan to implement an official, statewide Share the Road campaign. Our current plan is to roll it out (pardon the pun) one part at a time, but with the grant money, we'd be able to push it all out at once and we are very excited about this possibility.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Thank you all for your support!
