Amazon Smile

Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it’s easy for you to help SDBC receive donations from Amazon to SDBC. Just use the “Amazon Smile” charitable process in your account. Amazon Smile funnels a small percentage of their eligible purchase revenue to SDBC if you activate Amazon Smile in your account and choose “San Diego Bicycle Club” as the beneficiary nonprofit.

Instead of logging in through "amazon.com" you log-in through “smile.amazon.com.”  Very easy to use. It is EXACTLY the same shopping experience.  Nothing changes except SDBC receives contributions from Amazon.

70th Annual Banquet of Champions
San Diego Bicycle Club Link to Bottega Americano web site

The Annual Banquet of Champions was held last Sunday at Bottega Americano with a packed house. Thanks to Ralph Elliot for emceeing once again and to all of all of volunteers that helped make this another great evening.

The libations were flowing, the food was plentiful, and the whole crowd had a great time. Several attendees even took home some awesome raffle prizes. Some might have thought that the distribution of winners seemed a bit lopsided but at least two people didn't seem to mind (no names need to be mentioned here).

Check out some photos of the action on FaceBook.
