SUNY New Paltz’ Queens & Kings of New Paltz, an on-campus drag club, presents the 2nd Annual “Testing All Queens!” drag show fundraiser on Saturday, December 3rd from 6:00 to 9:00 pm in the Student Union Building. This outrageously fun holiday-themed event features performances by future drag all-stars, dinner by Pasquale’s, DJ music by Dangerboy, and a guest speaker from Love Heals. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for non-students, all to benefit HVCS. Our Project INFORM team will be on hand with sexual health info, condoms, lube and other goodies, too.
Last year’s event was a ton of fun, and we were so inspired by these talented drag kings and queens that we wound up hiring them for our other drag events later in the year! This is one event you don’t want to miss!
Plus: there’s a just-added afterparty! Village Pizza hosts the fun with drink and food specials and another surprise drag show at midnight.

Hudson Valley Dance Festival
October 8, 2016
Catskill, NY
Hudson Valley Dance Festival, a world-class dance experience in the heart of Catskill, NY, returns for its fourth year. To meet growing demand, this year’s event will feature two performances, at 2 pm and at 5 pm, again transforming the 115-year-old wooden warehouse at Catskill Point into a modern-day dance venue.
Hudson Valley Dance Festival has raised an impressive $323,630 for the most vulnerable among us. The money raised helps Dancers Responding to AIDS and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS provide grants to AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, including seven based in the Hudson Valley. The area organizations receiving grants in 2015 were Alliance for Positive Health in Albany, Animalkind in Hudson, Community Hospice in Catskill, Hudson Valley Community Services in Hawthorne, Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center in Kingston, Matthew 25 Food Pantry in Catskill and TOUCH (Together Our Unity Can Heal) in Congers.

It was Red Nose Day at HVCS’ Poughkeepsie and Kingston offices! Our Case Managers celebrated several months of not being “in the red” in their quality assurance data dashboard. This means that the program has been meeting or exceeding Department of Health performance standards. Way to go, Dutchess & Ulster case managers!

There are only a few tickets left for HVCS’ Drag Brunch 2016! This event has sold out every year and we expect the same situation for Sunday’s big show. If you’ve been waiting, now’s the time to hop on over to Eventbrite to snag your tickets!
And, to add to the fun, our friends and supporters at Big Gay Hudson Valley hope YOU the audience will have just as much fun as our drag-tastic performers! They’re giving away two pairs of tickets to their upcoming event to the two “Best Gender Bender Looks” at Drag Brunch. Don your best gender-switcheroo outfit or bend your gender outfit to the extreme and you might win a pair of tickets to see “Nasty Drew & That Harder Boy: The Mystery of the Family Jewels” in Rosendale on Saturday, April 16th. Outfits will be judged by our performers TRIXIE STARR, JOJO GERARD, ANITA LAY and AVI MUNSTER, so dress to impress!
Learn More About BGHV’s upcoming show:
Great jumping catfish! Someone has snatched Lady Dubois’ cherished family jewels! Never fear, stripper sleuths Nasty Drew and That Harder Boy are on the case. Watch as they hunt for clues, ward off menacing suspects and loosen up a few buttons of their own on their search to find the dastardly diamond deviant.
Presented by Big Gay Hudson Valley and GayHudson.com, Nasty Drew & That Harder Boy: The Mystery of the Family Jewels is written and produced by Chris Harder (who you may remember from BGHV’s annual burlesque cabaret, HUNG With Care). This queer and campy “whodunit” play features some of NYC’s hottest names in burlesque, drag and circus performance.

Fighting the war against hunger, one bowl at a time ~
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE 13TH ANNUAL EMPTY BOWLS BENEFIT DINNER!!!
This year’s Empty Bowls dinner will be on Friday, April 15th, 2016. It will be held from 5:00 – 7:30 PM in the cafeteria at the Rondout Valley High School in Accord, NY (on Kyserike Road, 1/4 mile off Route 209).
Empty Bowls is an annual benefit dinner held in Accord, New York. Empty Bowls raises money for starving families throughout the Hudson Valley. At Empty Bowls you can purchase a ceramic bowl made by local Rondout Valley High School students and professional artists. Once purchased, you can choose from a wide variety of soups and ice creams to fill your bowl with. All soups, ice creams, breads, and beverages are generously donated by local businesses throughout Ulster County. In past years Empty Bowls has managed to raise over ten thousand dollars!
Proceeds will be given to four local food pantries. The pantries being sponsored this year are the Rondout Valley, Rosendale, Rochester, and HVCS of Kingston Food Pantries. It is with the aid of these pantries that many families throughout Ulster County are able to experience the gift of food, a gift that many of us often take for granted.
Every little bit counts. Every dollar, every bowl, every person. In order to win the war against hunger we must all join the fight together. It takes an individual to make a difference; a group of people to make an impact; a community to change the world. So come and join the Empty Bowls community. United we will fight the war against hunger, one bowl at a time!
