You are invited to join us for a festive evening in celebration of 33 years of Capital Region conservation!
We are thrilled to honor Tom Bessette, Matt Sinnenberg, and Gray & Vicki Watkins and for their outstanding contributions to their communities and the environment.
Guests of the Fall Fundraiser will enjoy gourmet dinner selections by the River Stone Manor culinary team, lively conversation, a cocktail hour jazz performance, our awards ceremony, updates on MHLC's regional conservation work, and beautiful views of the Mohawk River.
