Letter to the editor:
Once again the Saratoga County community has supported the efforts of Rebuilding Together Saratoga County in its fundraising efforts. We have just had our 3rd annual dinner and it was better then ever. Thanks to everyone’s support we were able to raise over $13,000 fro the evening’s event. This money will help us to stay focused on our mission of helping low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners rehabilitate their homes so they may continue to live independently in warm, dry and safe homes.
More then 200 friends attended our dinner, generously cooked and donated by the Outback Steakhouse in Clifton Park and hosted at the Elks’ Club in Wilton. We are also thankful to the following sponsors -Fine Affairs, Peter Nelson of Saratoga Jazz, Bob Carr, The Public House in Malta and Maria Miller of Visual Element. As always the generous Saratoga County merchants donated items to make this one of the liveliest auction ever!!
Each year the dinner helps to fund our year round projects, which are done at at no cost to the homeowner. In 2006 we mobilized over 300 volunteers who donated over 2500 hours of their time to help their neighbor in need. The proceeds from the dinner will help fund our 2007 projects. If you know of someone who may benefit from our program, please visit our website www.rebuildingtogethersaratoga.com for an application or call our office at 695-3315.
