It's time to reserve your seat for the Alice Awards & Auction, taking
place March 22nd at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.

The party is about bike fun, bike advocacy and bike stuff (for sale in
the fabulous auction). More than half of tickets have already been
sold, and the purchase deadline is March 16th, so buy your tickets
today! Go to:

http://www.bta4bikes.org/alice/Tickets.html

Tickets are $75, a full table of ten can be reserved for $750. Last
year 720 people attended and the event raised more than $74,000 for the
BTA's work around the state.

What's so special about this fundraiser?

This year's theme is Alice in Paris, after the great things Paris has
done of late to make bicycling irresistible, including rental bikes and
Sunday Parkways along the Seine (both coming soon to Portland). Start
growing your mustache now! Cravats, berets and other French apparel
also encouraged.

Great auction items big and small (see them all at
http://www.bta4bikes.org/alice/Donated_Items.html), like the Cycle
Oregon #1 wristband, a bike tour in France, a handmade wooden bike from
Bikes to Rwanda, glow-in-the-dark bike scarves, year-round ride
admissions, concert tickets, massages, a custom-made terrarium, dance
lessons, and more!

We'll honor 37nominees from Oregon and SW Washington (descriptions at
http://www.bta4bikes.org/alice/nominees.php), and the five who will
receive Alice B. Toeclips Awards for bike advocacy and education
excellence. (Plus, rumor has it that one Bud Clark Award for Lifetime
Achievement will be given out to a surprise honoree.)

This is like "prom for bicyclists" so dust off your formal duds, and
come share an evening with 750 other people who care as much as you do
about making our communities great for bicycling.

Can't wait to see you there!
