You already love The Batavian. We appreciate your daily visits to our site and telling your friends about the stories you read here and supporting our sponsors. Now we're asking for your direct financial support. Reader support will help us grow and become better at what we do.
We've set up four membership tiers -- Subscribe to the club monthly as one person or as a household, or annually at either of those levels.
Currently, the primary benefits of joining are a membership card and bumper sticker. As the club grows, we'll work with local businesses to provide club-exclusive discounts and special events. The more people who join, the better and more frequent the offers.
It's important to note, this isn't a subscription to read the site. Our stories remain free to read. This is a membership club with benefits (and we'll add benefits as it grows).
Special Offer: Join with an annual membership before Dec. 15 and receive at no additional cost a 2013 calendar of Genesee County Photos by Howard Owens.

I think it's a good idea to join the club one way or another. I've never seen a news site in any other locality quite like this one so supporting it comes without question. It's unique in that everyone can interface with the site owners and can see them as we go about our day around the town. The business listings and upcoming events calendar are all right up front. We all get to express our opinions openly and many of us have gotten to know each other even though we may have never met in person. I admire the professionalism along with the casual atmosphere. Thank you Howard and Billie for bringing your brand of journalism to Batavia.
