5-19-2009 Newsletter
General Information
This is the last official
newsletter you will receive from me relating to the 2009 MS150. From now
on, you will only hear from me on as needed basis about things like
upcoming rides, 2009 team awards, 2010 MS150 registration, and so on.
On the fundraising front, I am very proud to say that Team Shell exceeded
its 2009 goal. As of this morning, we are at $313,131.49 and
holding very strong in 6th place overall. Congratulations and thank you
for your hard work. I will share the formal team standing and the list of
our top fundraisers toward the end of June.
Remember, applications for the $1000+ fundraising awards may be completed
online until July 31 at
http://www.msprizes.com. However, if
you plan to pick up your award in person at the NMSS Team Awards Party on
June 25, the deadline for completing the application is TODAY.
Upcoming Rides
There are several
well-supported rides coming up in the next few months which draw hundreds
of our local riders. The list will be posted on the team website (www.shellcyclingteam.com)
and will be kept evergreen as additional rides/details become available.
