Is Your Event Listed Below? (It Could Be...!)

Meet Our Crowdfunding Partners...

Clifton Chadwick

Your KeepItQuerque Member Directory will go into at least 70,000 upscale homes this year, thanks to more than twice as many funders as last year!

       


                                                      
Last year Ron Shettlesworth of Main Bank was a big help -  as he is again this year.                                       
Leroy Pacheco and the Loan Fund were our other major sponsor during the project.

In 2014 we had the benefit of our Crowdfunding project being new and, therefore, newsworthy.  As a result we were able to get several major funders and reached our goal easily.

In 2015 we had to do a lot more work. 

The Board of Directors, including President Mark Santiago of Axiom CPAs, and several others stepped up to the plate and renewed their memberships on the Crowdfunding site and one, Maxine Chavez of ABQ Drug Testing, simply made a donation to the cause, without expectation of amembership!

Several other staunch defenders of our "Buy Local Initiative" renewed on Main Street Crowd and helped us recruit new members.

Please click through where it says "Who's a Hero?" to see the complete list of individuals and businesses who helped us this year - and by all means, do some business with them and say "Thanks!"

You'll Want To Be In Our Print Directory This Year

It's official, deadline to be certain your business is included in the 2016 Directory is May 8, 2015.

We will be delivered to at least 70,000 Upscale Single Family Homes in communities like Taylor Ranch, Old Town, Nob Hill, the University area, the North Valley and more!

The Directory will, as it was last year, be featured on the front cover as a "Pull out Directory," and, again, we'll make it clear that the directory itself is to be yanked out and kept.

Believe it or not we do get occasional requests for our printed directory. With this printed Directory acting as a 4-page Spread Advertisement we will educate our neighbors about the personal and community benefits of shifting just 10% of their budgets to Local businesses like yours.

Another important function of this directory is to guide consumers to our Mobile Apps so they can have your business at their fingertips!  Now that's what kind of "Fingers do the walking" we really want to drive!

And of course, we'll remind our neighbors to look for the KeepItQuerque Window Cling at your business as their assurance your business is truly locally owned and independently operated - and we'll have the City of Albuquerque Seal to confirm our role as the "official seal of Buy Local!"

Thanks to those of you who have responded to our admonishments and sent in your membership dues!

If you are uncertain please give us a call at (505) 798-2587 and we'll verify your renewal date.

Please check your e-mail, too, as we've sent out invoices recently to the e-mail account associated with your membership

Cycle Recycle? Why, Yes!

One of the best places to buy and/or sell your bike is happening at KeepItQuerque member Sport Systems THIS WEEKEND!

According to the organizer, BikeABQ, "The annual Bike Swap is an event many look forward to for either selling bicycles and related items they no longer need or finding a good deal. The variety of bikes for sale over the years has spanned a wide range of vintages, prices,and types – mountain, road, comfort, commuter, BMX, tandems, recumbent, kids, unicycles – and included a penny farthing (high wheel bike) one year.  Related items include parts, clothing, trailers, and racks." Click here for more information.

BikeABQ is made up of members who love our city, love to ride, and who are dedicated to rider safety.
