Black River Good Neighbor Services is holding its seventh annual Stick Season Social at Sam’s Steakhouse in Ludlow on Saturday, November 5th.  The silent auction and the bar open at 6:00 p.m., dinner starts at 6:45. “Stick Season is that time between fall leaves and winter snow with no free concerts and not much to do, so it’s a great time to party,” said Peter LaBelle, President of BRGNS. “This is our major fund raiser of the year. It will help the BRGNS’ Food Shelf with program costs so it can continue to help local people in need of food, rent, utilities and heat assistance.”

This year BRGNS welcomes Imerys Talc Vermont and Vermont Properties and Development as major sponsors of the event.

In addition to dinner, the evening will include a cash bar, a terrific silent auction, and lots of raffle items and door prizes donated by the community. Sam’s has planned a full buffet including its signature salad bar and a variety of entrées and desserts.

Tickets are $55 per person, including dinner, gratuities and tax and can be purchased at the BRGNS Thrift Store, Peoples United Bank, the Book Nook, and The Wine & Cheese Depot, all located in Ludlow. Or, and this is the really easy way to buy, you may purchase tickets on line at www.brgn.org. Please call 802-228-3663 with any questions. Tickets must be purchased in advance and seating is limited. BRGNS is a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
