This event is dedicated to the memory of Jim Garvey. Jim was both a beloved member of Saint James United Methodist Church and part of the founding of RCAL. He was known for generosity and a sense of adventure. Jim could be seen walking throughout Kingston with his guide dog or riding in a tandem bicycle with his kids leading the way. His warmth, disability advocacy, and sense of humor continue to inspire us.
