Headlines and a new sponsor for NCVC

Today's Headlines:

So that's what's going on in the world. On the homefront, I also received this message (below) from NCVC's president today, about our cycling club's new title sponsor. We are now NCVC Powered By Burger King:

Team,

I am pleased to announce that we have just signed Burger King as a new sponsor for the remainder of the 2009 season. This will entail some changes, for starters our new team name will be "NCVC Powered By Burger King Sandwiches." We also have a new jersey with a welcome splash of blue and yellow colors. Michael and John are preparing an urgent clothing order consisting of jerseys and shorts for you to wear.

In addition, Burger King is also extending a 50% discount to all our members valid at any Burger King franchise. The triple whopper with cheese is excellent.

Myron Lehtman
NCVC President

...

Have a good April 1st.
