Important Message!!

There is a storm forecasted to come in on Friday. Because of this, there will be a change in venue.

We will now be meeting at:

PENINSULA ITALIAN AMERICAN
SOCIAL CLUB OF SAN MATEO
100 North B Street
San Mateo, California 94401

 

The schedule and details will remain the same (previous post). Also, because the parking may still be a little tight, I would still plan on carpooling when possible. It was recommended to use the parking at the train station, or downtown parking garage.

Vivace is holding the main restaurant for us for the evening. They will have a special menu with Troy's favorite items, as well as some signature cocktails. If you would like to dine, please make sure you mention that you are with the Collins family. Contact - 650-637-0611

Again, if there are any questions please post a comment and we will try to get to it as soon as possible.

Thanks again to all!

The Collins Family would like to invite you to:

The Ceremony and Celebration of Troy Collins

Please join us on November 11th @ 1:00pm
14 Highlands Court
Belmont, CA

In Canada, November 11th is a nationally observed holiday known as “Remembrance Day”. Decidedly, this would be a perfect day to come together and celebrate our love for Troy.

We will all gather around the Collins house to share fond memories and refreshments. The official service will begin at 1:00pm and we will disperse at 5:00pm.

We expect a large number of friends to attend, so please plan on carpooling if possible. That said you may have a bit of a walk from your vehicle.

Since 11/11 is Veterans Day, many children will be out of school. Please use your own best judgment when deciding whether or not to bring your children. Service will be outside, and it may become difficult to hear or hard to be in the moment if your children will need to be closely tended to. However, you are more than welcome to bring your children if you wish.

If you would like, you may bring your favorite dessert to share! But, of course, it is not necessary to bring anything at all. Please, to keep things as simple as possible, it would be appreciated if desserts come on disposable serve ware, and do not require utensils.

As in the world of dirt biking, we will gather rain or shine. Please don’t forget to dress appropriately for an outside service.

If you are in need of local accommodations, we are trying to get special rates at a few local hotels. We will update you as we get more information.

Many will likely gather at Troy’s favorite eatery “Vivace” for dinner and cocktails after the days’ services have concluded. This is a great opportunity to swap stories and just enjoy our friendships through Troy.

A reservation is highly recommended if you would care to join.

Vivace
1910 Ralston Avenue
Belmont, CA

Again, thank you for all of the well wishes and thoughts... it makes all of the difference in the world to have so much love and support.

With Love-
The Collins Family
