Hello MWABA,

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the MWABA community for your generous contributions to our Giving Tuesday campaign. Your support is invaluable in helping us maintain and expand the offerings at MWABA. As a gentle reminder, you and your friends and family can still make a tax-deductible donation for 2024 through the end of the year. Every contribution helps us continue our mission and enhance our programs, ensuring we can serve our community effectively. Thank you for your continued support!

Come to goalball on December 21, from 10 AM to 1 PM. Practice will be at the Columbia Heights community center, at 1480 Girard St. NW, D.C.

It’s time to renew your membership! Call for 2025 annual dues. Dues are $25.00 and cover your membership until December 31, 2025. Annual dues help support all of the activities and events that we organize throughout the year: goalball, tandem cycling, yoga, kayaking, hiking, beep kickball, etc. as well as social gatherings and community outreach efforts. We plan to bring you even more exciting opportunities in the coming year! Dues also cover your ability to request financial assistance for participation in other sporting activities, and the right to vote on and run for MWABA board positions. Dues can be paid via Venmo, user name: @MWABADC or Paypal, user name: treasurer mwaba.inc and we will work with you on a case by case basis. Dues are requested to be paid by January 31, 2025.

Our next tandem ride will be on January 11that Eastern Market at 9 a.m., sign up here: https://forms.gle/kSmdy1yN6wb4Kxyx8 by January 8th.

MWABA is hoping to offer tandem bike maintenance classes on Wednesday nights in February and/or March. Let us know if you’re interested, and which topics you’d like to learn about!
