More things to celebrate at Carolina Mornings!

Well this was a great week of celebration at Carolina Mornings. In addition to the Sky High Award, we are proud that our Director of Property Management, Larry Miller, was the recipient of the Velosports Community Award! We often see Larry coming or leaving the office decked out in his cycling gear and we all want to say Congratulations!
I have learned a bit about the Velosports Performance Center and thought I would share it with all of you!

Velosports Performance Center is a local training center that began a developmental cycling team in 2008.
Their mission is to develop men's cycling in Western North Carolina by:

* Building a diverse team of men of all ages and cultural backgrounds.
* Seek to create a way of life based on the enjoyment of racing, setting a good example for others, respecting and demonstrating fundamental ethical principles through racing, and working to promote and improve our local community.

Part of every riders's contract is to volunteer and give back to our community through cycling. Team VPC does this every year through:

* Promoting over 30 races each year with age divisions from Juniors to Masters and in all levels from beginner to Professional.
* Promotion and development of junior riders through Velosport's own junior program, Asheville Youth Cycling.
* Community participation through volunteering and charity rides such as the Meals on Wheels Ride in mid-June, Buncombe County Child Care programs such as the Children's At-Risk program, and The Asheville Grand Prix benefiting the Children First organization.
