Greenwich Police 10-13 Block Party Fundraiser

[Guest]

On Sunday, July 12th, there is an event fund raising money for a Greenwich (CT) Police Officer. Officer Tony Rivera has lost most of his sight, his kidneys are failing, and he is married, and a father of two children. There are t-shirts available at the event, live music provided by The Short Bus, and there are raffles too. It is taking place on Lower Greenwich Avenue, which will be closed down (Fawcett Place to Railroad Avenue). This event is from 3-8pm and food/drinks are provided by Sundown Saloon, Thataway Cafe, and MacDuff's.

The flyer is attached. More details in today's Greenwich Time. Click Here to View The Article.

Haven't had a chance to get on here. What a great time for a good cause. I have to say that I have only missed 2-3 10-13's in 9.5yrs. This one for whatever reason is highly ranked up there. I think it was the weather, the food which was out of this world, the entertainment, the sites(wink wink), and the beer. What a great idea to shut down half or a full City St. At most 10-13's, it is 95% LEO's but I saw lots of "COMMON PEOPLE" which was great. Had 3 other wingmen with me and we all agreed what a great time it was. Too bad we only do something like this when somebody is SICK OR DEAD!! Great Job CITY OF GREENWICH and all that helped out!!
