CVC Community Event -- Saturday, February 22nd
by henry montalvo 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hey CVC'ers, Whether on a ride, or at home, the first people we call when there is an accident or injury is the fire department. This is a great way to say thanks to the Ventura County Fire Department for being there when we need them. They do an incredible job 365-24-7. It is the perfect opportunity for the cycling community to give back to these first responders and, it is in this spirit that I am sending out the below information. I hope you are able to attend. The Auxiliary of the Ventura County Fire Department, Widows, Orphans and Assistance Fund is having a fundraiser at ALL Cronies Sports Grill locations, Saturday February 22nd, 2014. The event will last all day (Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner). A portion of the proceeds will go to this above mentioned fund. Below is the flyer. Special thanks to Cam Young for bringing this to my attention. Henry Montalvo President Conejo Valley Cyclists
