Hope Floats

August 2, 2017 By Rebekka Lorraine

Lovely event / message from the Tri-State Chamber of Commerce:

HOPE FLOATS
Kayak River of Life

What are you doing at 8:30am on August 10th? We hope you can join us on the banks of the Delaware River at West End Beach in Port Jervis NY as we cheer on breast cancer survivor and advocate, Carolyn Choate as she embarks on a 300 mile river journey for breast cancer awareness, treatment & survival.

We had the pleasure of talking with Carolyn about her trip and encourage all of you to learn more about her fight and the important work of the late cancer researcher Dr. Angela Brody. Carolyn will be leaving the shores of Port Jervis around 9:00am.

Carolyn and her daughter Sydney will kayak 300 miles, while her husband follows on land in the camper taking video footage along the way with the goal of making a documentary about surviving cancer.

Whether you or a loved one has been touched by cancer, or if you want to just stop by to wish Carolyn a great trip, full of hope and adventure…come on down. Follow Kayak River of Life on Facebook !

GEOCACHING AT THE PORT JERVIS FREE LIBRARY

July 5, 2017 By Rebekka Lorraine

*Press Release

Today’s libraries are not just for books, computers and magazines – the Port Jervis Free Library now has its own geocache! In geocaching, participants obtain the location of a geocache from a geocaching website www.geocaching.com, use a GPS to arrive in the area of the cache, and then follow clues or simply hunt for the cache. There are nearly 500 caches waiting to be found within a 10 mile radius of our library alone!

Libraries and geocaching seem to be made for each other. First, and I believe most importantly, they create a means of uniting the virtual and the real worlds, allowing people to explore both the library building and its resources. Second, they engage people and create community through real life experiences, such as the sudden discovery of a new idea or place that can be transformative. Third, they have a wide appeal across age groups and allow for family or team co-operation and interaction. Come by the Port Jervis Free Library and give the sport of Geocaching a try!
