Restaurant and Public House located 42 Broadway, Rocky Point NY 11778 (631-

There will be raffles, 50-50, and gift baskets that were donated from local

are representing New York in this great sporting event.
Sponsorships or
donations are needed to send an All-Star team (14 state champions) from
New York to the Disney Duals National Championship in Orlando Florida on
June 27 to July 2. The funds would off set the wrestler's traveling
