of the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. They will be playing over 30 Beatles

this important event, we'd like to thank the MS Society and, most especially,
Larry Roberts of Sound Associates, who has donated his services and sound
system for the Swim Across the Hudson.

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.
