The Best and the Wurst

Tomorrow, September 29, 2012, 12:00 pm 

Croton Point Park, Gateway Plz & Croton Point Ave, Croton on Hudson, NY | Get Directions » 
$30.00 

100% of the net from this event will go to Yorktown Rotary's Wheelchair Project.

For someone unable to walk the world is closed.  Without mobility a youngster cannot get to school; an adult cannot go out to earn a living; a senior cannot help out with childcare or even self-care.

The Rotary Club of Yorktown has partnered with the Rotary Club of Morelia, Mexico to bring mobility to youngsters, adults and seniors to enable them - and their extended families - to live normal and productive lives.


Five local craft breweries will be offering beer for tasting, accompanied by unlimited bratwurst and pretzels. Soda and water will be available for kids and designated drivers.

Enjoy the beer; enjoy the brats; enjoy the beauty of the leaves turning and the Hudson flowing.  And know you are doing good!
Thank you for joining us at this special event.
