NMBA is pleased to announce their participation in the Penns Valley Gear Swap Sale & Fundraiser, to be held on Sunday, November 13, 2011, from noon to 4pm, at 105 E. Main Street, Millheim, PA. 

The goal of the gear swap is to be an annual fundraiser for the Penns Valley Conservation Association http://www.pennsvalley.net/cms/ and to help promote other outdoor-based organizations and businesses in the Centre County region. 

NMBA is currently looking for DONATIONS of items to sell at the Gear Swap.  The following is a list of suggested items to donate:  bicycles of all sorts, bicycle parts of all sorts, bike trailers, car carriers, jerseys, hi-tech clothing, unused water bottles, shoes that still have many years of life, and pretty much anything you would find in a bike shop.   Other non-bicycle related items that may be donated are camping gear, skiing gear, hiking gear, backpacks, binoculars, telescopes, GPS and cameras.

25% of the proceeds generated from the Gear Swap will go to the Penns Valley Conservation Association, and the remaining 75% of the proceeds will go directly to NMBA. 

Raid your closet, your basement, your garage and your shed to find items worth donating!  We ALL have bicycle clothing that is practically brand new that we just don’t wear for some reason; let’s clean out those drawers and donate them to a worthy cause! 

When you’ve gathered your items that you wish to donate, please contact Terri to schedule pick up/drop off.  Items will be accepted up until November 11th.   

Please help to make this fundraiser a successful event for the Penns Valley Conservation Association as well as NMBA!
