Tony Stacey Ride

I was going to say today but it's so late that it was actually yesterday, Saturday - We, my wife Giggles and I, met some members of the Juno unit in Trenton at 6:00am and rode 220km to the Bolton Legion. From here we departed on a great, 270km, ride throughout the GTA. The last 30 miniutes were spent in heavy rain but that's all part of it. At the Tony Stacey Centre we visited with some of the veterans, we had some food, some entertainment and a lot of fun. FUB and the gang put on a great spread with prizes, speaches and music. Once again the support shown throughout the CAV was overwhelming, I was trying to remember all the unit tags that I saw but there were just too many. The money raised from the ride, T-shirt sales, unit donations, and a 50/50 draw winning donated back to the TSC by Juno's CP brought the total to over $10,000, WOW.

All in all Juno rode 590km, got soaked by some rain, got dirt and grit in our teeth, BUT


IT WAS WORTH IT!
I would do this again in a heartbeat because these folks didn't stop fighting for us, not in the rain not in the snow, so once again thanks to all who participated in the ride and helped raise the funds, a special thanks goes to FUB for organizing this great event, but the real thanks goes to all the Veterans for everything they have done for us!

Thank you.

Private Sébastien Courcy

Today, once again, we all stood shoulder to shoulder, military, civilians, CAV, and other bike clubs, as we had a heroes welcome for Private Sébastien Courcy as he started his trip down the Highway of Heroes.

STAND DOWN SOLDIER
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
YOU ARE NOW HOMEWARD BOUND

Highway Of Heroes Salute Ride

Today some CAV members, along with riders from other clubs and individuals, participated in the Highway Of Heroes Salute Ride. The ride ran from Classy Chassis, had a stop with BBQ in Cobourg, and ended in Trenton at the RCAF Air Museum. I saw many of our brothers and sisters there. On hand were representatives from National, 1CAV, and too many units to mention. Juno volunteered to play parking authority which made the entrance to the museum run smoothly. Thanks to the organizers, riders and volunteers!

When it was all said and done $10,000 was raised for Canada Company's Children's Scholarship Fund, and another $10,000 for the Wounded Warriors Fund. A job well done guys, give yourselves a pat on the back!

Juno's New Honorary Member

Just before last nights ride our president, Broo, gathered us for an announcment. Izzy, our 50/50 girl, was to become Juno's first Honorary Member! Looking around at the group I dont't think anyone was supprised, everyone knows how Broo feels about this young lady and I belive that the feelings are shared unit wide. Not only has this lady come to more meetings than alot of paid members but has joined (on the back of dads Triumph) in some some rides that vertran riders would not do. On behalf of the Juno Unit I would like to welcome Izzy our newest member.

Shannonville Speedway - Flat Out

On the weekend of July 10, 11, 12 some Juno members supported the Trenton MFRC by volunteering to run a beer tent at the Shannonville Speedways "flat out" weekend.

Thanks to Juno's Fr8tek, Kippy and Bob for running the show. Also thanks to everyone who came out to help with setup / teardown or anything in between.
