 Message from the President
Dear Chamber Members:
Cocktails at Sunset, our biggest event of the year, is only a few days away. It is scheduled to take place at The Belvedere Mansion on October 16, 2014 from 6-9 p.m.
Every year this event gets better and with the hard work of the event committee, I am certain that this year will be the best yet. It is important to remember that the monies raised by this event are used to light up the Village of Rhinebeck throughout the Holiday Season, which, as we all know, provides an amazing backdrop for our community. This is just one of the many reasons why your support of this event is so greatly appreciated. Please be sure to patronize the generous sponsors (listed below) and donors who have so graciously contributed to the success of the evening. Thanks to the Little Creek Band for taking us to the next level!
This year's event is open to the public so feel free to spread the word to family, friends and anyone who you think may want to enjoy an amazing night of drinks, food and entertainment. I hope to see each of you at this year's Cocktails at Sunset.
Sean M. Kemp
