On Sunday, September 24th, the Rotary Club of Kingston is holding its annual Chicken BBQ from 12:30 to 3 PM at the Rotary Pavilion at Kingston Point. This year, the Old Capital Brass Band will play from 1 to 3 PM.
The menu includes: ½ BBQ grilled chicken, corn on the cob, salad, dessert and beverage. It is $20 a ticket.
Over the years, Kingston Point has morphed from its early days as an amusement park to a place of solitude and beauty. The Kingston Rotary Club led the way in the 1980s to restore this beautiful park in order to provide a new generation of visitors with an enjoyable visit.
Proceeds support the Community Services projects by Kingston Rotary, including Rotary Park Restoration!
1. Highest Combined Score - Wayne Graff: Wayne Graff had an incredible night, showcasing his bowling prowess by achieving the highest combined score. His skill on the lanes certainly paid off.
2. Most Gutter Balls - Mary Mills: Bowling wouldn't be complete without a few gutter balls, and it seems Mary Mills took the humorous route to victory by earning the title of "Most Gutter Balls." Sometimes, even those gutter balls can bring a lot of entertainment.
3. Highest Scoring Team - Wayne Graf, Barbara Graf, Briana Purdy, and Thomas Graf: This team was on fire! Wayne Graf, Barbara Graf, Briana Purdy, and Thomas Graf combined their skills to form the highest-scoring team of the evening. Teamwork clearly made the dream work.
4. Best Dressed Bowler - Leanne Marmo: Bowling isn't just about the game; it's also an opportunity to showcase your style. Leanne Marmo stood out as the "Best Dressed Bowler," adding a touch of fashion flair to the lanes.
Everyone had a fantastic time, whether they were knocking down pins with precision or having a good laugh over gutter balls. Bowling events like this are not just about the competition but also about building bonds, having fun, and creating lasting memories. Congratulations to all the winners, and here's to more evenings of fun, food, and fellowship on the bowling lanes!
Beyond the bakery itself, the Reher Center also highlights the broader cultural heritage of the immigrant community. You might see artifacts, photographs, and documents that offer a glimpse into the lives and traditions of these immigrants. The center often hosts educational programs, events, and exhibitions related to immigrant history, Jewish culture, and local heritage. Currently, the exhibition, Taking Root is on display, which gives you an opportunity to listen to people who shared their stories as part of the Hudson Valley Immigrant Oral History Project.
In addition, it was an absolute delight to be joined by AG Maria and past DG Louis, as well as the esteemed members of our Woodstock satellite club. Your support and camaraderie continue to enrich our Rotary experience, and we appreciate your ongoing involvement in our endeavors.
