Starting September 15 registration begins for the "Learn to Swim Program" through the Roosevelt Island Marlins for anyone between 4 years and 14 years old. Contact RIMarlinsSwim@Yahoo.com or call the number listed on the flyer.
Next weekend starts a month of several special events recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month across Roosevelt Island. The events are sponsored in part by RIVAA and RIOC.
In addition to being a vital part of Roosevelt Island's transportation infrastructure the Tram resumed its role as school bus to many students that commute off the island to numerous public and private schools.
