“I felt like I was getting a peek inside Santa’s Workshop!” That’s how Stephanie Perilli, Director of Fund Development for the Valley Zoo Development Society, described her recent glimpse inside a local woodworking shop.

It’s Mid-April, 2017. I’m sitting in the airport with one of my best girlfriends, holding a bag containing my bike helmet, shoes, pedals and saddle. I have some 12 hours of flying ahead of me before 7 days of cycling on a stunning Spanish island that’s considered a mecca of

It’s Sunday morning. At least two-dozen adults crowd the dusty gym floor, trying to watch and listen as the muscled blonde describes what their next hour will entail.
