Bowen LIFT (Linking Islanders through Friendly Transportation) wants to grow and we need your help. Over the next six months, Bowen LIFT is going to be running some programs to encourage ride-sharing. The more people we have participating, the easier it will be to share rides! To kick things off, we want to build membership on the Bowen LIFT Facebook group. The Facebook group exists to help drivers and riders from Bowen Island find rides and riders both on and off island. It is a secure site -all participants are vetted by a group administrator to make sure they are part of the Bowen Island community.
Our aim is to get to 400 members by the end of 2014. To encourage ride-sharing and make it more fun, we're offering a gift certificate each week for the next six weeks to a lucky driver who offers a ride through our Facebook page. We have had an awesome start: we have increased our membership from 140 to 305 members in just one week, surpassing our expectations!
Congratulations to Peter Wrinch who offered a ride this week and has won a $10 gift certificate to The Snug. Upon receiving the certificate, Peter commented “I really love the LIFT idea. It is cool to travel with people and it is good for the Earth. Total win-win. Thanks for the gift certificate.”
Each week for the next five weeks, we'll announce another winner from those who offer rides through our FB group. So don't forget to invite your Bowen FB friends to join Bowen LIFT and share rides. The more members, the more ride sharing. Go to www.bowenlift.com to find out more or to join the Bowen LIFT Facebook group.
