  • Plans for July 4th Week

    fireworksRather than compete, the Boroughs of Avalon and Stone Harbor have scheduled their fireworks displays on 2 different nights.

    Stone Harbor– on Sunday July 2nd off of the 96th Street beach area- from a barge on the ocean rather than on the beach (and a move from the 80th Street field).  This central location will allow great viewing all along the Stone Harbor beaches.

    Avalon– on Tuesday, July 4th off of the 30th Street beach.  Also from a barge on the ocean, allowing easy viewing along the Avalon beaches.

    Will post more activity updates closer to the holiday.

     

  • Islandman Triathlon Saturday June 24

    It’s that time of year again- The Islandman Triathlon (a Tim Kerr Charities event).

    Race Director Midge Kerr always appreciates volunteers along the bike course to monitor traffic.  This is a closed course event for the safety of the participants (when you see how fast the riders pass, you will understand!)

    Saturday, June 24th between 7:15am and 9:45am. Coverage requested for each block on Avalon and First Avenues along the course.

    Volunteers will receive a logo shirt, plus witness a fun event!

    Please let me know if you are available to help:  ann.delaney@timkerrsir.com

    For more information regarding the triathlon:

    Tim Kerr Charities Web Site  or contact Midge directly:    midge@timkerrcharities.org

    Thanks!
