*Cuppa Java is staying open late for this event.  

*Big Hill Books is donating their space again this year.   

We are grateful for this additional support.

This is a free event for Bryn Mawr neighbors.  Our local businesses roll out the red carpet for us on this night.  Join your neighbors and support our local businesses.  

Join us September 17 from 5-7pm for the BMNA Member* Appreciation Night at Utepils. Connect with neighbors while enjoying the beer garden. Shop the latest BMNA looks: t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and stickers! We will be collecting back to school items for our two community schools: pencils, thin, black dry erase markers, Clorox wipes, tissues, highlighters and packing tape. 2026 donors to the BMNA will receive a free beverage token. Look for us around back in the beer garden. If you are unsure if you have donated in 2026, email coordinator@bmna.org or call 612.234.7819. You can also donate that night!

Your donation can help us plan for the rest of the year and for 2027 as we face reduced funding from the city.  Member donations make up nearly half of our income stream. Your donation funds things like The Bugle neighborhood newspaper, our website (BMNA.org), contract support staff who keep things organized and moving forward, neighborhood garden projects, and neighborhood events.

*A Member is defined in our by laws as anyone 16 years or older who resides within the neighborhood boundaries, owns property within the neighborhood boundaries, owns or manages a business within the neighborhood boundaries, or is an elected governmental official whose constituency consists of all or some of the persons residing within the neighborhood boundaries.

We’re riding to BLACK WALNUT - Perhaps the most requested destination in the history of Piecycle rides 🥐.

Saturday (the 15th) morning. 9:30AM meetup at Keewaydin Playground. 10AM rollout. We’ll be riding Pastry Pace along Minnehaha, then north on beautiful Bryant Ave. This one-way group ride is about 7 miles. In honor of the Black Walnut name, we may even point at some lovely trees along the way!

Black Walnut, being as popular and wonderful and bustling as it is, will have some foot traffic! For this reason, we’ll post up on the sidewalk area on the side of the building before/after popping in for orders - There likely won’t be tables available inside! That just means we get to hang out with our bikes, friends, and sidewalk chalk in the sunshine.
