Big Doin's!

We're Gonna Straight Up MOB the Rail Yards!

Sam Hufnagel

Greetings CashMobbers,
 
It's been a while since you've heard from us, but we've been busy. We are collaborating with KeepitQuerque and Yelp to have our next event at the Rail Yards Market! If you're on Facebook, click here for the event.
 
The Rail Yards Market is an amazing thing to happen to ABQ, and we want to support it! Please join ABQCashMob at 1:00pm on August 10th at 777 1st St SW.


 
We'll have a table set up with KeepitQuerque and Yelp where we'll all be giving out free buttons, stickers, etc. and getting the word out to people. We will be set up the whole time, from 9-2, so you can come anytime. But please try to come at 1:00pm so we can all gather together as a Mob to show our community support!
 
And we have extra rewards for your participation. Anyone who connects with us through email or Facebook (which you already have) will get a whole bunch of coupons to businesses so you can save some money while shopping local - while supplies last.

We will also be doing a silent auction of goods from past CashMob businesses, keep an eye out on Facebook to see who.
 
Finally, we've been getting  a lot of press coverage lately, in the form of an article, a news report and a radio bit (link soon to come). 
 
Please spread the word and keep supporting your community! Thank you

Are You Participating In the KeepItQuerque Movement?

Clifton Chadwick

You are what drives KeepItQuerque.  Your membership allows us to promote the "10% Shift." Your active KeepItQuerque.org Directory listing serves ALL the KeepItQuerque.org Directory listings.  Your participation in our events helps us raise awareness.


You received a notice last week abut this Sunday's collaboration with ABQ CashMob and Yelp! to bring the CashMob to the Rail Yards Market

Here's what the Albuquerque Business Weekly had to say (click here).

YOU can be a BIG part of this by simply showing up.  The Rail Yards is a vibrant example of a Local Economy.

You can further leverage your exposure to this large group of locals who are there to "Buy Local" by providing coupons for us to distribute or donating your offering for a silent auction, proceeds to be split by ABQ CashMob and KeepItQuerque.

Please bring your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors and children to this awesome event; if you haven't been to the Rail Yards Market yet this is the best time to taste this wonderful "Buy Local" treat and see Local Collaboration being hugely successful.

Contact me, Clifton Chadwick if you'd like to bring something to the Rail yards - or just look for the KeepItQuerque and ABQ CashMob Banners inside the Market - we'll be setting up by 9:00am.

See you there!
