I especially thank all of the men and women of the Hillsdale Police Department, most of all Officer Alex Kaplan, who successfully organized this event for the fifth year in a row.
We send a big thank you to Fire Chief Thomas Kelley and the Hillsdale Fire Department for their tremendous show of support. They provided personnel and assets to make sure that everyone was fed by grilling hamburgers and hot dogs—which was a huge feet in itself, with the amount of people who showed up.
Stony Brook Swim Club Pool Director Patty Hughes and your staff—thank you for providing the venue, which made for the perfect setting for this event.
Again, thank you all for your continued support.
Robert Francaviglia
