Patch Picks: The Week Ahead

There is something for everyone to do this week in the Hudson Valley.

Featured Event: Book Author Discusses Volunteering Around the World

On Thursday, Jan. 31, author Ken Budd discusses his critically acclaimed book, The Voluntourist—A Six-Country Tale of Love, Loss, Fatherhood, Fate, and Singing Bon Jovi in Bethlehem, at Cross-Cultural Soluntions in New Rochelle. The Voluntourist tells the story of Budd's attempt to live up to his late father's life by volunteering in New Orleans, Costa Rica, China, Ecuador, Palestine and Kenya. All sales help benefit the organizations for which Budd volunteered.For more information go to: http://www.thevoluntouristbook.com/2013/01/ken-budd-speaking-about-the-voluntourist-in-new-rochelle-ny-on-january-31/
