NYCkayaker Swim Support and a public meeting

[snelsonpa at aol.com]

Yes, and please add two more:
*The Riverpool swim from Newburgh to Beacon on August 3rd at 9:30am. A one mile swim with a good cause and good instructions for the kayakers.

*The three mile swim across the Hudson in September by Leukemia and Lymphoma from Nyack to Sleepy Hollow. A fun event, good cause, not-so-early start, good parking, good food, good instructions and the record-breaker for the most kayaks on the river, at an event, at one time!

And if people can't kayak for these events, there are always volunteering possibilities.

See you at the Tri, bright and early!
Suellen Nelson

Thanks Tim. Yes-it's very easy. Just boycott Morty's swims.
 The end.
