The Ice House hosted our 2014 Mid-Hudson Kickoff on April 9, 2014.Dozens of local business owners, volunteers and supporters gathered at the Poughkeepsie Ice House on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 to kick off the countdown to HVCS’ Dining Out for Life 2014 event. The Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for us, and invited local politicians such as NYS Senator Terry Gipson and Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazyik.
