Sun., Oct. 23, 2011

VENUE
- Crabby Dicks in Delaware City

The lifeblood of WCBC is its volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for the rides, the events, the tours, the newsletter, the website, the leadership, and club representatives to bicycle advocacy organizations. In gratitude for their help with club activities in the past year, WCBC is providing a brunch for our volunteers. If you have led a ride, worked at one of our major events or multi-day tours or helped with club activities, the brunch is courtesy of the club. For non-volunteers, the cost will be approximately $18.

Once again, the brunch will be at Crabby Dicks restaurant, 30 Clinton St., Delaware City. Meet us there at about 10:30 am for a hearty brunch featuring favorite breakfast fare – eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, breakfast breads and pastries, and desserts. Please RSVP to Brenda Mehta, 410-920-6526 or brendamehta@hotmail.com by Friday, October 14th if you plan to attend. Please include how many will attend if you’re bringing family or friends. For those who want to build up an appetite, join us for one of the rides below, all of which will arrive at Crabby Dick’s around 10:30 am.
