by Sheri Leiken 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi Members! A few helpful members came forward to help distribute fliers and posters, but we still need help in getting our advertising for Cruisin the Conejo out there. You can all help by sharing our facebook page, as well as passing the website link to your friends. Cruisintheconejo.org But in addition, I still need a few different people to distribute and hang fliers and posters at various bike shops and coffee shops frequented by cyclists. If you can get to shops in ANY of the following areas, and can help with this process, please let me know. 1. Santa Clarita 2. San Gabriel 3. Valencia 4. Long Beach 5. Calabasas and local Conejo Valley meeting spots, (not the shops), but places like Brent's Deli in Calabasas, Coffee Bean, Peddler's Fork, etc. 6. San Fernando Valley Bike shops- Northridge, REI, etc. 7. Santa Monica Please let me know in which area you can help distribute. Thanks so much, Sheri Leiken
