Black River Good Neighbor Services is holding its ninth annual Stick Season Social this year on Saturday, November 3rd at Sam’s Steakhouse. The silent auction and the bar will open at six pm and dinner will be served at 6:30. “Stick Season is that time between fall leaves and winter snow with no free concerts and not as much to do, so it’s a great time to party,” said Audrey Bridge, Executive Director of BRGNS. “This is a major fund raiser for us and it will help the food shelf with program costs so we can continue to help local people in need of food, rent, utilities and heat assistance.”

This year BRGNS welcomes Ted Stryhas, Builder and William Raveis Real Estate / the Vermont Properties Team 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 staff has planned a delicious buffet with full salad and bread bar, prime rib, stuffed sole, chicken marsala, pasta and roasted potatoes with desert, coffee and tea.

Tickets are $60 per person, 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 online at www.brgn.org. Please call 802-228-3663 with any questions. Tickets must be purchased in advance. BRGNS is a Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
