May 18, 2012 – Annual Benefit
Our 2012 Annual Benefit Honoring Senator Steve Saland occurred Friday, May 18 from 5-8pm and was graciously hosted by club member Rob Rolison at the historic New Hamburg Yacht Club. We were thrilled to honor Senator Steve Saland, long-time supporter and nearby neighbor of the Kimlin Cider Mill. We were also thrilled to have Jay Dilorenzo, President of the Preservation League of New York State, join us to present the Senator’s tribute. For the special evening we were pleased to welcome the Deane Machine Trio (a group of talented swing jazz musicians), one of our local caterers, select silent auction items generously contributed by our local businesses and artists, and all of the wonderful company to honor our Senator and kick off the summer season.
Thursdays June-October 2012 – Arlington Farmer’s Market
Every Thursday from June through October, we had a tent and table at the Arlington Farmer’s Market (3-7pm) on the lawn across from Vassar College, on Raymond Avenue. There we soldmerchandise, accepted donations, signed up volunteers, and in general spread the word about our cause.
