In 2009 (as a token entrance "fee,") we asked all participants to bring a canned or boxed food item for the food pantries; we will ask participants to do this again in 2010.
Rain didn't dampen the spirits of the over 100 Walkers who participated in the 2009 New Paltz CROP Walk.
The 2009 WALK started under the tent from the former New Paltz Student Christian building, across SUNY Parking Lot #18. Up So. Manheim to Rte 299 (Main Street), down to the Wallkill Rail Trail and headed north to Wallkill Bridge. At the bridge there were refreshments with water and fruit provided by Robin's Warehouse and Hurd's Family Farm. Free ice cream cone tickets were handed out at bridge, provided by Stewart's Ice Cream.
The final totals are in for 2009 and once again, we have
exceeded the total amount raised from the previous year. The Grand total raised is
$18,461.58. Hallelujah!! And because of YOU, 25% of total raised ($
4,615.40) will be going directly to local charities: 20% to Wallkill Food Pantry - $ 923.08 Our goal for 2010, with your generosity and efforts, is to surpass this
amount. Please tell everyone you know to participate, or donate. Since 1995
(when CROP started being computerized),
New Paltz CROP Walk has now raised over $137,000.
The New Paltz CROP Committee would like to thank all who
participated in any way.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! --- Adriana Havaner - Coordinator
