Not to be missed is the Monthly Business After Hours at The Community at Brookmeade in Rhinebeck, on Wednesday, October 11^th. Additionally, the monthly Contact Breakfast will be Wednesday, October 25^th at The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel, featuring a forum with Dutchess County Executive candidates Sue Serino and Tommy Zurhellen.
