Volunteer Boat Trip
On
July 28, 2009 a group of 100 greeters and staff went aboard the Clipper
City for a boat ride around the New York Harbor. Thanks to a
generous donation from Manhattan By Sail, we were able to enjoy a
lovely summer evening on the water. While taking in the sights of
the Statue of Liberty and Governor’s Island, as well as Brooklyn and
lower Manhattan, greeters had a wonderful time sharing past experiences
and best tips.
