HVOEC 25th Annual Person of
the Year Dinner Dance Date and
Honorees Announced
On Oct. 25, 2014, members
and supporters of the Hudson
Valley Oil & Energy Council
will once again join together
for the organization's Annual
Person of the Year Dinner
Dance. Historically, the Dinner Dance has
been the HVOEC's biggest fundraising event,
and this year is expected to be bigger than ever
thanks to their unique selection of honorees.
In celebration of the Annual Dinner Dance's
25th anniversary, instead of choosing one
"Person of the Year," HVOEC will honor
the work of six local charities--one for each
county the association represents--and pres-
ent each one with a donation of $2,000.00.
The charities and nonprofit organizations
to be awarded include:
• Sullivan County Federation for the
Homeless, which operates the only soup
kitchen in Sullivan County;
• Arc of Putnam County, which serves over
600 children and adults with disabilities;
• Family of Woodstock Inc., which pro-
vides crisis intervention services throughout
Ulster County;
• Dutchess County SPCA, which provides
rescue, shelter, and secure permanent homes
for adoptable companion animals, advocates
for the highest standards of animal care, and
enforces animal cruelty laws throughout
Dutchess County;
• VISIONS Services for the Blind, which
assists blind and visually impaired people of
all ages in Rockland County and throughout
New York; and
• Safe Homes of Orange County, which
provides emergency, non-emergency and
wrap-around services for individuals and
families affected by domestic violence.
Beginning at 6:30 PM at Anthony's Pier
9 in New Windsor, N.Y., the HVOEC 25th
Annual Person of the Year Dinner Dance
will be attended by guests representing energy
retailers, home comfort companies and asso-
ciated businesses throughout the Hudson
Valley Region. The cost of attendance is
$150 per plate and includes a souvenir jour-
nal highlighting the community work and
accomplishments of the HVOEC and its 24
past Persons of the Year. It promises to be a
fun and positive experience for all.
