Remember Your Club This Holiday Season
|
|
SDBC is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. This means there are lots of ways you can support your Club during the Holidays:
- If you shop online at Amazon.com, sign-on to the site through Smile.Amazon.Com. Register and then the Club will receive a small percentage of every qualifying Amazon purchase you make. It costs you nothing, is fast and easy, and helps the Club.
- Renew your membership, if it’s about to expire. Online at SDBC.org
- Buy gift memberships for the cyclists in your life. Online at SDBC.org
- Sign SDBC up for your company’s matching gift program, if it has one. We’re happy to email the IRS determination letter to you and/or your company.
- Make a tax deductible donation.*
*Consult your tax professional
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and peace and joy to all!

Bottega Americano Gold Cards |
Get 50% Off
Your Total Bill at Bottega Americano
As an SDBC member you already get 10% off your bill every time you dine at the incredible Bottega Americano - just tell them you’re an SDBC member. The restaurant is where we held last year's Club banquet, and is known for its creative, fresh Italian-inspired cuisine. It also features a full service bar and great wines.
But there’s a way you can get 50% off every time. Owner and fellow cyclist Giuseppe Ciuffa has given the Club “Gold Cards.” Present the card and save 50% off your entire bill when you and a second person use the card. Save 25% off your bill with a group of three or four people. These discounts apply to everything: all menu items, your wine and bar charges, and corkage fees, if you bring your own wine. These cards do not have expiration dates on them.
We have five cards, and we’ve put a $95 value on each one. If you’re interested in buying one, please contact Marilyn Detloff at membership@sdbc.org. She can process your credit card information and mail the card to you, or make arrangements for pick-up at the Saturday ride.
First-come, first-served. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
Why are we selling the cards, you ask? The cards are Club assets, for the benefit of all members. We could give them away, but to members who don’t like Italian food or live far from the restaurant, the card has no value, no benefit. So if we gave them as raffle prizes, the winners might be people who have no use for them. But if we sell them, the funds can be used to support SDBC and its programs, benefitting all members, while getting the cards into the hands of people who value them |
