Dining Out for Life Mid-Hudson Kickoff
Thursday, April 10th, 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. Peter Maher from Mid-Hudson Subaru helped HVCS’ J. Dewey cut the ribbon. The party then moved inside for free appetizers and happy hour specials at the Ice House’s bar. Thank you to all those who came out to support HVCS–and we hope you’ll dine out to fight AIDS on Wednesday, April 23rd!

Drag Brunch 2014 Sells Out
Monday, March 17th, 2014Hi folks – we’re glad (and sad) to say that the third Drag Brunch at Gunk Haus on April 6th is now fully booked, with 85 people signed up to attend! Thanks to everyone who made their reservations with Dirk at the Gunk Haus, and we’re thrilled that everyone is so excited to see the antics of Trixie Starr, JoJo Gerard, Lilly Sa’Vage and Miss Pattie Lee.
However, we don’t like having to turn anyone away. If you missed snagging a reservation, you can add yourself to our waiting list by calling (914) 785-8277 or emailing us. If we receive any cancellations, we’ll fill them from the waiting list on a first-come, first-serve basis depending on the size of your party. (For example, if a party of 2 cancels, we’ll notify the next party of 2 on our list. If a party of 4 cancels, and the next 2 people on the waiting list ask for a party of 2, we’ll offer them the spots.) We will contact you if we have space for you by Saturday, April 5th at 5 pm.
Or, you can call Gunk Haus the morning of April 6 to check on availability.
Thank you for your support! All proceeds from the Drag Brunch support the Hudson Valley AIDS Walk, which happens on the Walkway Over the Hudson on Saturday, May 17th.
