  • Advance notices of and invitations to special events, bike rides, receptions and conferences;
  • Complimentary Rail-Trail Calendar;
  • Recognition in RTC's annual report;
  • Updates detailing RTC's work and recent accomplishments; and
  • Personal calls and briefings from RTC staff and board members when they visit your local area.
