FATHER BRIAN BLESSING WTC CROSS AT CHURCH AND LIBERTY STREETS TOMORROW AT 9:30 AM
Please drive to Riis' Landing tomorrow in time to catch the 8:00 AM ferry to Pier 11 in Manhattan, then walk over to Zucotti Park at Church and Liberty Streets where at 9:30 AM Father Brian Jordan O.F.M. will bless the WTC Cross, before the Cross is moved to its permanent home in the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
Every Breezy Point family was affected by the tragic events of 9/11. Therefore we should all make every effort to attend the blessing of this Cross formed during the collapse of the World Trade Center, which has comforted us and sustained our faith.
ANNUAL SUGAR BOWL GEORGE TIMMINS MEMORIAL RUN A GREAT TIME
We thank the Timmins family, Mike King and all who participated in last Saturday's this great happening held for the benefit of the Point Breeze and Rockaway Point Volunteer Fire Departments. Our Point Breeze Volunteer Firefighters helped register the runners/walkers and manned the water stations. It was a great way to begin the weekend and it was great to see Pointers of all ages support the life saving work of our communities volunteer fire departments.
FIRE SAFETY TIP
Point Breeze Volunteer Firefighter and Security Officer Kevin Madden reminds us that on any summer evening hundreds of Pointers of all ages playing softball, basketball, handball, volleyball, checkers and chess and using the gym equipment at the Co-op's recreational complex and also enjoying the Dugout's delicious pizza and snacks. Therefore, please use extreme caution while driving around this area, as the little ones occasionally run on to the road before looking both ways.

Best in Breezy manager Jim O'Meara at his post game press conference, held at the Sugar Bowl, told the assembled media that the team actually played well, but stated that the Bears took advantage of several defensive lapses on our part, which allowed the Huggy Bears to defeat us 11 to 4 in a very exciting action filled game.
