An Evening with Lazarus Lake in honour of Vince Perdue

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Our Evening with Laz was a great success. Not even the lousy winter weather weather kept people away.

The BBs wish to thank you for your support. Your very presence was a reflection of the purpose of the event; the running community in this town is strong.

Because of your support, we have successfully raised the targeted funds. Keep your ears open for an announcement. We will have a ceremony at Perdue Peak in the coming months to celebrate the renaming of the 360-degree lookout.

Events like these can only be successful if people show up, and you did that. So, thank you!

The amazing Jess McShane documented our fun evening and has shared her photos here. Feel free to take a look: https://bbbu.jessmcshane.ca/set/fd553e63-2d96-4bbf-aba3-a4e7099f6eaf

Our community is better because of Vince, and each of you!

Some Notes

__________________

Dear Gary and Sandra,

On behalf of the Sudbury Running Community, thank you again for making the long journey from Tennessee.

We were so thrilled to have you as part of the celebration for Vince and our audience loved the presentation and the question and answer session. On a personal note it was a joy to be able to spend time with you both. You were both so generous with your time, we hope we were able to make the experience as enjoyable for you as it has been for us.

No doubt you will be treated like royalty by our friends at Straw Dog Racing/Sulphur Springs Trail Races in the Greater Toronto Area. Enjoy your time there, including the Leafs game and safe travels.

Kind regards and thank you again from the organizing team. Please remember we are always open to hosting you in the warmer months and Gary I'll line up a geology tour for you if you can make it!

Helen, Andre, Lisa, Tannys and Carl and of course Vince\

I appreciate all you did for us and all you do for the running community. It was an honor meeting Vince and being part of his celebration.

I hope we will come back at a time we could walk the trails and see all the work that has been done.

Thank you for letting me join in and getting to see this part of Canada! I am so happy it was a success for you all!

yes;

i want to thank everyone who contributed to making this adventure possible.
and to congratulate vince again for all he has accomplished...

and now the true irony starts tomorrow.
after holing up for a "winter storm" y'all might scoff at
we get to drive home in the very conditions we were afraid of.
canada decided to come to the US!

lets hope we learned something by osmosis.

Thank you all for treating me to one of the best days of my life. " And I feel I just meandered through life and this happened". I have learned a few things along the way but what appears most imortant to me is the true friends gained plus I realize I have a very supportive family group. I am truly blessed.

There are too many to mention but a special thanks go out to Andre and Helen for actually making the event happen. Also thank you so much to Laz and Sandra for making the arduous trip to the north. We are all grateful for your presense. You truly made it a special day for all of us.

Vince Perdue
