We are pleased to announce the 2006 Swim Across the Hudson for MS™.  Swimmers 
and kayakers will cross the Hudson River from picturesque Emeline Park in 
Haverstraw to spacious Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.  The date is 
set for Saturday, September 9, 2006.  We hope that you, your friends and family 
will join us.

The 2005 swim was the best ever—raising over $220,000 for research and 
treatment programs for people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.  We are grateful to 
the people of Irvington for all of their support and generosity over the 
years and look forward to launching the Swim Across the Hudson for MS™
.
We are delighted to join with the Village of Haverstraw, Mayor Francis 
Wassmer, New York Waterway Tours, “Floating the Apple”  and the Westchester County 
Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation in providing a great day of 
challenge, fun and entertainment.  And the people with MS who we serve in 
Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange and Sullivan Counties are, as ever, grateful 
for your ongoing support.

We all look forward to your continued participation with us in helping to end 
the devastating effect of multiple sclerosis.
