To the Editor:

Join the Voorheesville Community & School Foundation in celebrating 16 years of giving back to our community and schools by attending “An Evening at the Orchard 2015” to be held on Friday, Oct. 16, at the Orchard Creek Golf Club in Altamont.

The event will feature an al fresco evening of wine and beer sampling, a delicious assortment of light and hearty fare, live entertainment from the Chris Dukes Band, and live and silent auctions. It is sure to be an evening to remember!

“An Evening at the Orchard” is our major annual fundraiser where money is raised through the generosity of sponsors, donations, and sale of auction items. In the past year, fundraising proceeds have allowed VCSF to provide over $25,000 in grants to enhance educational, cultural, athletic, and organizational opportunities for students and community members in Voorheesville, New Scotland, and within the Voorheesville Central School District.

Our goal for this year’s event is to raise another $25,000 or more to reinvest in our community and schools.

Help us meet our goal by purchasing tickets today at vcsfoundation.com. Stay tuned for information regarding the evening’s menu, exciting auction items, and more. Details on the event may be found on our website. Like us on Facebook, too, and, if you haven’t already, join our email list, where we will continue to make updates and announcements leading up to the event. 

Last year’s event was a spectacular success with over 200 community members in attendance. Please join us this year on Oct. 16 for a great party, to support our mission, and to celebrate 16 years of giving back to our community and schools!
