2.  CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY – Sunday June 11, 2017 at the Veneto Centre
BBQ
This Sunday (actually the entire weekend) there will be a celebration of diversity at the Veneto Centre coinciding with the annual Italian Festivities of the month of June – the 2nd of June is Italy Day.  I think that the whole diversity bit, albeit legitimate, legitimizes some government funding for the event.  Nevertheless, it is not for us to inquire.
The importance for us is that whenever there is a free event for Italians and the weather is nice, there will be hordes of people.  With a forecast of sunshine and 37C, the stars are in alignment for a mass of humanity.  As such, the parking will be tight and more importantly, the kitchen will be in lock-down mode.
Not to worry.  We have procured BBQ tickets for the event which we will be distributing gratis to anyone who signs up for lunch on our sign up sheets.  There will be food; you will be fed.  In fact, o the presence that our Sunday Best attire creates, I will not be surprised if we are asked to stand on stage for commemorative pictures and the bestowal of honours and plaques.
3.  META CENTRE GRANFONDO – Sunday June 25, 2017

2017 05 20

The META Foundation is hosting its 16th Annual Family Walk, Relay & Gran Fondo on Sunday June 25, 2017, to raise funds for the Meta Foundation which provides programmes and assistance to individuals with special needs and their families.  The Gran-fondo has been taking place since 2014 and the Veneto Cycling Club has been there from the very beginning and in numbers that make us stand head and shoulders above everyone else.  In fact, last year when others broke ranks to participate in the “big boys” ride, the VCC stood by its commitment.  The big boys can tear a page out of our playbook and learn a lesson or two.  Have a look at the META Foundation page and you will see how we dominate in pictures: www.metacentre.ca/gran-fondo
The cost of the early bird registration is $125.  But considering that you get a free pair of Adidas running shoes and a foodie’s food pavilion, the price is well worth it.  Here is the link to the online registration page: Gran-fondo Registration
We hope to see you there.
4.  GOOD LUCK and GODSPEED to all VCC MEMBERS at the RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER

 

This weekend will play host to the 2-day challenge to Niagara Falls with the running of the Ride to COnquer Cancer.  Usually there are about a dozen of our members that participate in the ride.  We wish them well and that they have a safe and memorable experience.  We thank them and all the participants for the work that they’ve done to raise funds for this worthy cause.  Send us a picture or two.
5.       VCC PICTURES OF THE WEEK In order to make it into the VCC Bulletin, you need to do 3 things:

a.    Wear a VCC Jersey or stand next to someone wearing a VCC Jersey,
b.    Take a picture or have one taken of you; and

Entry No. 1:  A QUICKIE BEFORE HEADING OFF TO WORK – submitted by Frank Mazzuca

The Dynamic Duo of Frank and Steve stop off at Nino's for the day's quota of buns and a quick espresso. Now that they're juiced up, they're off to the VC to cook up a storm.

Entry No. 4:  MONKEYING AROUND – submitted by Fausto Rossetto/Frank Morassut

Anticipating rain on Sunday, Fausto’s group took advantage of the great weather on Saturday for a ride to Terra Cotta.  Frank felt singled out being the only person holding a banana and so he doctored the picture as there’s strength in numbers.  He also added some friends in the background.
