In the 2008 calendar year, every T-shirt sold, Torch Runner sponsored and plunge team making a splash put us one step closer to reaching our long-time goal of being a $1 million program. We are thrilled that the New York City Region helped achieve this goal with the re-introduction of the Metro Torch Run. Thank you! We look forward to growing this grassroots initiative and even greater success in 2009. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bronx-based Training Clubs Schedule of Activities ALPINE SKIING - CAMPGAW MOUNTAIN MONDAYS FROM 5:30 - 8:30 PM JANUARY 5 - FEBRUARY 9, 2009 AQUATICS - LEHMAN COLLEGE POOL MONDAYS.
