LETTER FROM PRESIDENT DIANE BAIN

Hi Cycling Club Members,
We had our first officer meeting last night and discussed the direction for our club in 2008. We are in the very beginning stages of development, but we are off to a great start! Topics included membership, events, activities, and our responsibilities to our community.
Many of you know that THF Realty is sponsoring the Cycling Club so that we can encourage and promote a cycling community. We brainstormed ideas for events and activities for our members as well as the public. Our goal is to empower people to live healty lifestyles by creating awareness of good nutrition and fun exercise, such as biking in group rides with cool cyclists!!
Membership for the club has changed. We will be consistant with Ghisallo Racing, Ghisallo Triathlon, and Ghisallo Running and implement a $75 first-time member fee with a $25 yearly renewal. "How will that benefit me," you ask??? First of all, the jersey you ordered and are expecting in February or March will be no charge. Here's the breakdown: $55 of your membership fee goes toward your jersey and the remaining $20 will go toward club events/activities for 2008. You will also receive a 20% discount instead of 10% discount on any purchases in the store (except for bikes). Buying cold gear just became a little more affordable!! Also, as a member, you have access to free unlimited indoor cycling in the winter months. So far, cycling with trainers inside the store is offered Monday and Wednesday mornings at 8:30am. More sessions may be added in the near future.
If this information interests you and you would like to become an official member please try to get your 2008 membership dues in before the 1st of the year. You can drop off your dues to the store or mail them to:
Ghisallo Sports Attn: Mary Klauke 161 Long Road, Suite 103 Chesterfield, MO 63005
Please make your check out to Ghisallo Racing.
We are looking forward to a great year with our newly formed club! Please email me with any questions/suggestions. All of the officers would love to hear from you. To make this an effective, successful and fun year, we'll need everyone's ideas, help and time.
Thank you,
Diane Bain Ghisallo Club President
