Hello everyone -
I wanted to take a few minutes to answer a few questions that everyone has been asking this week.
When is the Team Apparel Order arriving?
Our team jerseys and shorts were shipped today from California. We anticipate they will arrive on Friday. We will begin distributing on Monday.
For Valero employees, we are going to set up a table by the cafeteria
on Monday (9/26) for pick ups. Out of towners, we will mail them to
you. Everyone else, we will follow the directions you put on the order.
If you indicated that you wanted them shipped, we will. Otherwise, we
will call you for pick up.
For those of you who were placing orders today, please mail payment
to me ASAP. Write checks or money orders to Laura Vaccaro. Mail to:
Laura Vaccaro, Valero Energy, One Valero Way, MS F1E, San Antonio, TX
78249.
Will I get volunteer hours for the ride?
Valero employees are eligible for 36 hours of volunteer service as a
participant it the MS 150. Following the ride, I will submit the names
of all team members from our roster who have met their fundraising
requirement.
How do I sign up for transportation from Corpus Christi to San Antonio?
If you plan to use the Valero provided
transportation from Corpus Christi to San Antonio, I need you to please
complete the following form:
http://secure.valero.com/apps/corp/NSurvey/survey.aspx?surveyid=11 This link will ask you the questions and your answers will sign you up for services accordingly.
Please note this form is both for transportation and massage therapy. Please only fill it out once.
How do I sign up for massage therapy?
We will have 10 massage therapists this year to serve the ever
growing team Velo Valero on Saturday afternoon and evening. The massage
tent will open at 12 noon and run until 7 pm. What I would like to do
this year, is have a schedule in advance so we don't have to wait in a
line outside of the tent to get a massage. Massages will be scheduled
in 30 minute increments….You will get a 20-25 minute massage for a $20 cash donation. Don't forget to bring cash $$!
Please click on the following link to reserve your spot now. We will
have 10 slots every 30 minutes. We will schedule you on a first come
first served basis. So be sure to list your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice for
times on the form. Don't forget you are riding 90 miles this year…you
can estimate what time you will be finished and then leave time for
your shower.
Please note this form is both for transportation and massage therapy. Please only fill it out once.

Velo Valero goody bags pick up
The Board and I are preparing some goody bags for all Velo Valero
team members to include your team T-shirt, socks, meal wrist bands,
spirit items and guest tickets. We will be distributing these to Valero
employees next week. Date to be announced. We will distribute to all
other team members both on Friday evening at the Bike Expo at the
Clarion Hotel and at the tent on Saturday evening. Dinner will be on 5
pm on Saturday. We have some fun music and slides show entertainment,
so please plan to join us Saturday evening under the Valero Tent.
