Greetings, all.

Another guest has been added to the kickoff dinner. We have a local guy named Rick Shalvoy who rows around Long Island each year to raise funds for cancer research. He has set his annual row to end the day of the dinner, and he will be there with the winner of a radio contest (who gets to do the Challenge with Rick in a motorhome). I believe Rick and the contest winner will also be on our May 15 evening cruise.

Rick is the only person known to have done the full row around Long Island. It takes a bout nine days (he started May 4 this year). Check www.rowcure.org for more info about Rick or to make a contribution.
