RUDY POLK MEMORIAL SERVICE
(UPDATE as of 9-18-2010)

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Please read carefully as a few things have changed since the first announcement.

PARKING
We will meet at the St. Agatha Cemetery to begin the graveside ceremony at 11:00 a.m. sharp. Auxiliary police will be available to show you the designated parking areas (gymnasium parking lot and former boys yard, etc.). It would be ideal if you could leave your cars parked and walked up to the cemetery, but if this is not possible for you, then please remember that parking on Duryea Lane may present a bit of a challenge. We're expecting around 200 or so to attend, so please arrive early and give yourself ample time. You won't want to miss the bittersweet gun salute by the U.S. Marines Guard or the Taps performance.

Upon completion of the graveside ceremony, please return to the Gymnasium where the remainder of the Memorial Service will take place. The service will include an "open microphone" for those of you wishing to express your thoughts, sentiments and happy memories about Rudy. Please keep your speech up to 3 minutes in length in order to accommodate everyone - you may want to prepare this in advance. Refreshments will be available afterwards.

SPECIAL NOTE: Please remember that the former five girls' cottages are now private property that houses special clients. Although we are welcome to visit the Bell Tower in that area, please keep in mind that we are gracious guests who will respect their privacy.

TO RAIN OR NOT TO RAIN!
Pray that it doesn't rain, but carry an umbrella just in case!!

DRIVING DIRECTIONS
Please take the Palisades Parkway North or the 287 North - both take you to Rockland County.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EDDIE MIRANDA, BARRY DONAHUE, NIDIA CANCEL, THE SISTERS, RUDY's FAMILY AND ALL OTHERS WHO'VE MADE THIS SERVICE POSSIBLE. SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th!!!! :-)
