Dear Robert, Thank you for helping make the Transgender Day of Remembrance so memorable. Your support of the community is wonderful, and I appreciate it. The fear that runs through the transgendered community is immense, and events like TDOR can help. We are so blessed to have non-transgendered allies. Personally, I know I would have had a much harder time if not for some key Gay/Lesbian/Bi friends to help me come out and be a genuine human being. Thank you for your kindness. Peace - Helen Wright, 11/20/06

Hi Robert, It was a pleasure to meet you and have you perform for our service. Thank you again for coming out to Long Island for our service. It was a great success, and you were a big part of that success. Thank you. I thought that "We are the Haunted" and "Serenity" were perfect during the service, they both captured the spirit of the evening. We could not have had a better choice for a performer. I hope we will see you out on Long Island again soon. Best - Eileen Thomas

Urban Productions recording artist ROBERT URBAN and The John Molino Orchestra's JOHN MOLINO will be appearing as special guests of THE DAY TRIPPERS Beatles tribute band - this Saturday, September
9th - celebrating the music of The Beatles at the annual fundraiser for the National MS
Society's "Swim Across the Hudson" September 9, 2006 - all-day event at Croton Point Park, NY.


ROBERT URBAN, JOHN MOLINO and THE DAY TRIPPERS - This assemblage of professional New York area musicians has come together to lend their talents in support of the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. They will be playing over 30 Beatles tunes at the event. Grateful for the opportunity to play such great music at this important event, we'd like to thank the MS Society and, most especially, Larry Roberts of Sound Associates, who has donated his services and sound system for the Swim Across the Hudson.

We are pleased to announce the 2006 Swim Across the Hudson for MS™. Swimmers and kayakers will cross the Hudson River from picturesque Emeline Park in Haverstraw to spacious Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY. The date is set for Saturday, September 9, 2006. We hope that you, your friends and family will join us. The 2005 swim was the best ever—raising over $220,000 for research and treatment programs for people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. We are grateful to the people of Irvington for all of their support and generosity over the years and look forward to launching the Swim Across the Hudson for MS™

Dear Robert - I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. I cannot wait to share it all with the youth this Friday. They will love the CDs and I cannot wait to see their faces when I share the drag kit. I will capture it by photo for you if I can. It means so much that you went out of your way to share all of the resources that you did. I have no doubt that your sharing and what you shared will make a huge impact on their continued development and the affirmation of who they are. There is no price that can be placed on that. Thank you again!! Love - Kim Collins, Rainbow Cafe
