AUTHOR: Jerry "Jet" Whittaker TITLE: Poker run a success DATE: 7:54 AM ----- BODY:
Thank you very much for your help and contribution to make Mary's Corner Poker Run for the American Cancer Society a successful event. I also wish to thank the major sponsors and contributors, who made the event possible: Pepsi of Newburgh, Freihofer, A&J Nuts, Dunkin' Donuts of Chester, Herr's Chips, Rita's Ice of New Windsor, Viking Jackets and Athletic Wear of New Windsor, Hudson Valley Foods, Craigville Bible Church, WRRV Rock Alternative Radio Station, Auto Graphics of Salisbury Mills, Roe's Orchard, Steven Roe (Flowers), Eddie Conklin Produce Stand, Blooming Grove Police Department, Times Herald-Record and the Orange County Post. A special thank you to all the bikers for your patience and understanding at this first annual event. Because the poker run event and donation jar were very successful, we were able to donate more than $1,000 to the local chapter of American Cancer Society in Middletown. Next year, we will also have T-shirts for sale. Mark your calendar. Next year's event is set for Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007 (subject to change). Preregistration will be available. We look forward to seeing everyone and some new faces next year! If anyone would still like to contribute, please send a check to Mary's Corner, 3177 Route 94, Chester 10918; make checks payable to the American Cancer Society.
