CVC'ers, Many of you knew club and raceteam member Howard Levy. We lost Howard recently to cancer. This year the Mike Nosco Memorial ride will be dedicated to Howard and the foundation will fund a college trust for his children AJ and Leah. The contribution depends on how many people sign up or donate. Let's make this year's event the biggest it's ever been and let's support a fallen club member!!! The CVC raceteam will accompany his wife Margaret on the ride, all club members are welcome to join us in memory of Howard. Please check out all the ride information and what this ride provides to survivors and families. <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mikenosco.com%2F&h=qAQGbUttu > www.mikenosco.com It would be great to see how many of our club members could go out and support this event, and Howard's family. Come out and ride what you can. Sincerely, Sheri/Mitch
