Bicycle Items Featured in auction

The Canadian Embassy Officer's Club is hosting an online silent auction, starting June 4th, to benefit "The Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation http://www.nyof.org/ . NYOF is a U.S. based nonprofit organization devoted to bringing hope to the most destitute children in the beautiful but impoverished Himalayan country of Nepal. They hope to raise $10,000 which would rescue 100 girls from indentured servitude, let them come home to live with their family, pay their school expenses for a year, and provide their family with a baby goat or piglet, for only $100.

They have now several items related to cycling, including the grand prize on an 18 nights trip to Vietnam and Laos, donated by Far and Away, a value of $2295. Also a spot on "The Grand Tour in the Lower St. Lawrence region in the province of Quebec" a value of $925. Bobby of the Great Peanut Tour is donating 2 registrations as well, and Mountains of Misery one registration for 2010. Also a registration for Bike VA 2010. They also have registrations to various club centuries, RABA, PPTC, Oxon Hill, Marin Bike Club, New York Great Escape and a Trek Jet 21 donated by Spokes and Cascade in Seattle has donated 2 passports to 10 of their events. A 2 Dimensional Bike Fitting donated by Contes of Arlington and a bike tune up donated by Papillon. Terry Bicycle said they would donate saddles, and they expect more stuff in the coming days.
