There've always been two great reasons to join The Batavian Club:
- You're helping to support local journalism that serves your local community;
- You'll receive more than $300 in money-saving gift certificates to help you support local businesses.
For a limited time, there's another good reason: You will receive a free, limited edition T-shirt from your favorite local news site. The shirt was custom designed exclusively for The Batavian by Brian and Beth Kemp of T-Shirts Etc., 111 Main St., Batavia.
We're going to offer these shirts in two stages: a free T-shirt for new members who join before 5 p.m., April 3; and, later, at a discounted rate for existing members.
Why the delay for existing members? Because technically, we need a "certificate of authority" to collect sales tax on the shirts, and it will be at least 20 days before we receive that from NYS. When The Batavian has the certificate, members will be able to buy shirts (as many as they like) for $9 each (plus tax and $5 for shipping (or avoid the shipping cost and pick up your shirts at T-Shirts Etc.). Non-members will be able to buy the shirts at that time for $20 each (plus tax and shipping).
For new members, shirts will be available for pick up (pick up only, no shipping) on or about April 17.
Once all members have had a chance to buy shirts, the offer will be discontinued and this particular shirt will no longer be available for purchase.
