Since you can sleep late tomorrow, come on out for Thanksgiving Eve and contribute to HVCS’ holiday drive! The Firemen’s Exempt Association in Poughkeepsie hosts a Thanksgiving Eve dance party with DJs Prephab and the DJK and sound & lights by Superior Sounds. Donate nonperishable food items, toiletries and household cleansers for our Emergency Food Closets and “gobble” down free hors d’oeuvre from 8pm to 12 am.
Thanks to Hudson Valley Hub for being there on August 18th to film all the excitement of the Hairdressers’ Disco Ball & Fantasy Hair Show at the Villa Borghese.
It’s time once again for the most spooktacular night of the year!
Celebrate Halloween with Big Gay Hudson Valley and Superior Sounds in haunted & historic downtown Poughkeepsie at the first ever “Great Poughkeepsie Costume Carnival”! The stage will be set for a creepy vintage carnival complete with side shows, go-go carnies, live DJ’s and, of course, awe-inspiring costumes.
Watching is only half the fun – set the scene for the first ever Great Poughkeepsie Costume Carnival with a jaw-dropping outfit of your own. Creativity is encouraged – and will be rewarded – as prizes for best attire in our not-so-typical costume content are up for grabs in the following categories:
* Best Use of Glitter
* Best Side Show/Freak Show Character
* Best Gender Illusion
The fabulous custom cocktail bar of Canvas Lounge will be pouring crafted cocktails from under their big top, so come thirsty!
Tickets are $10 at the door. 21+ only, please.

Big Gay Hudson Valley.com’s PROS Mixers are about networking the region’s LGBTQ community and our allies to create new connections; They happen the second Tuesday of each month at a variety of locations.
For our August event, BGHV is headed to Shadows on the Hudson. Doors open at 5:30pm.
Milti and his team will be serving up some snacks at the bar, and we’ll have use of the patio overlooking the Hudson River as the bartenders serve up a delicious array of beverages.
Please help us to determine how many to anticipate, by RSVP’ing in advance on Facebook. Also, please help us to spread the word to any colleagues in the region that you feel would benefit from this networking opportunity.
Check out our Walk page for all the details: www.arcs.org/AIDSWalk.php.
You’re invited to a kick-off reception to honor our sponsors and volunteers!
Please join us at the Poughkeepsie Ice House on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm for a ribbon cutting ceremony and happy hour to start the countdown to ARCS’ Dining Out for Life fundraiser.
The Ice House, located on the banks of the Hudson, will be serving complimentary samples of their appetizers. Guests can also enjoy happy hour prices on their full selection of beer and wine at the bar. We’re also giving away door prizes and a preview of some exciting changes being made at ARCS!
The Dutchess Regional Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony promptly at 5:00 pm to help us kick off the countdown to Dining Out for Life. Mid-Hudson Subaru will be on hand with the latest top-selling model too.
The Ice House is located at 1 Main Street in downtown Poughkeepsie, in the middle of Waryas Park. There’s plenty of parking available at the train station or off of Water Street.
Please RSVP to J. Dewey at jdewey@arcs.org or call (914) 785-8326.
We’re looking for volunteers to serve as ARCS representatives within restaurants that are participating in Dining Out for Life. Ambassadors’ main roles are to 1) greet and thank diners for coming 2) inform them that a part of their bill will be donated to ARCS that night 3) hand out special envelopes so diners can make an additional donation and possibly win prizes. Of course, an ambassador’s job is a lot more fun when you bring lots of your own friends and family to that restaurant.
You’re invited to one of three training sessions to learn how to be a DOFL Ambassador—or, if you’ve done this before, how to be an even better one! Trainings are very informal and hopefully fun, too. We provide you with all the necessary materials to be a success.
Ambassador training dates/options:
Wednesday, March 20: 6:00 – 7:30 pm – at a private residence in Beacon – sign up for directions and address
Tuesday, April 2: 6:00 – 7:30 pm – ARCS Hawthorne, 40 Saw Mill River Rd.
Wednesday, April 3: 6:00 – 7:30 pm – ARCS Poughkeepsie, 235 Main St.
Please let us know if you’re interested in being a 2013 Ambassador, and which training you can attend (and if you want to help but can’t make a training, just let us know and we can work out a custom training for you). And please invite others to attend, too, or forward this email.
