On Sept. 14, residents from across the Capital Region are invited to gather at the Thacher State Park Visitor Center for the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy’s fall fundraiser — 25 Years of Conservation: A Celebration.

The festivities begin at 5:30 p.m., including dinner catered by Garden Bistro 24, beverages by Capital Wine and Indian Ladder Farms Cidery and Brewery, live classical guitar music from William David Simcoe, and views of some of the land the conservancy has helped preserve.

Founding members will be recognized for their shared vision: a Capital Region with open, green spaces preserved for all residents and visitors to enjoy; 5,000 acres have been conserved. This ceremony will feature a reflection from David Shern, founding board member, now living in Florida.

Matthew Bender IV will be recognized for his support.

The conservancy is selling 100 tickets for 10 raffle baskets, which winners need not be present to receive. More information available on prizes and ticket prices/availability at www.mohawkhudson.org.

To reserve a spot or to buy raffle tickets, visit www.mohawkhudson.org or call (518) 436-6346. All proceeds will support the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy.
