The 37^th Annual Town of Warwick Senior BBQ was another great success! The Town Board would like to thank everyone who contributed to support our local senior citizens. In particular, I would like to recognize first and foremost, the Warwick Valley Rotary and the Town of Warwick DPW for their efforts in putting this event together. The coordinating committee included Leo Kaytes, Laura Barca, Ben Astorino, Melissa Apuzzo and members of the Warwick Valley Rotary. The event had monetary and in-kind contributions from more than 30 local residents, businesses and organizations and was run by countless volunteers. We thank you all so much for your generosity and we look forward to hosting this event again next year!
