Autumn is here! The trees are bursting into color, and everywhere you turn you find apple cider and apple pie. As we trade our warm, sunny days of summer for crisp, cool breezes and fiery landscapes, we have plenty of fall events to look forward to this season! Warm up with a bowl of soup at Chowderfest or spend an evening celebrating hunting season at the Redneck Cocktail Party. As always, check our Events Calendar regularly for up-to-date information!

October 20
Live music, the fall foliage over Sacandaga Lake, delicious food, a signature cocktail, and an array of wonderful silent auction items…. Join us for our “Autumn Evening on the Lake” fundraiser open house at Lanzi’s on the Lake to benefit the David and Helen Getman Memorial Home from 5pm-8pm
The David and Helen Getman Memorial Home is a not-for-profit Home that has been in continuous operation since 1918. We are licensed by the New York State Department of Health as an adult home and provide care and services for low-income Fulton and Montgomery County seniors who otherwise would not likely be able to live safely at home. We provide private rooms, three meals daily, a coordinated activities program, transportation, utilities, housekeeping, maintenance, medication management and individualized assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing and grooming. Most of our residents have an income of less than $15,000 per year. Since government subsidies are not available to pay for Adult Home services, we rely on the support of our community to help us provide these critical services to needy seniors.
Tickets are available by calling 505-1670 or 725-9114. Tickets are $25.00 per person and the fundraiser is an Open House- Come any time and stay as long as you like! We look forward to seeing you there!
