Welcome! Thank you so much for joining us for first virtual and our sixth annual Celebration of Service Awards Dinner! We’re so glad you are here and will be honoring with us the amazing people and business in our community! This spring we’ve all undergone a change in focus as COVID-19 swept through our community. Many of us have lost friends and relatives to this virus. Many of us have had are lives reshaped by this pandemic. But together we are here now and stronger in solidarity within our community than ever before. We wish to extend our deepest thanks to all the frontline heroes who have saved lives, helped us keep our families fed, provided heat and electricity and helped us teach our children. We have been working daily with our nonprofit partners as well as organizations on the frontline of the COVID-19 crisis to help provide needed essentials so that they could fight successfully and safely for all of us. That is thanks to you. At United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region our work has always focused on providing that hand up when people need it most. During a recent telethon, one of the people we reached out to explained that year’s ago she received help from United Way when she was a single mother with three children. Today she is a successful lawyer and executive with a local business. That is what you help us do — before, during and after COVID-19. So tonight we’ll be honoring the top workplace campaigns and two nonprofits. Once again, Central Hudson shows their strong support for community and United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region as this year’s number one top campaign! While this event is virtual the need is not, please look over our silent auction items and bid for some of these great items. Whatever you can give will mean so much as we continue to help your neighbor, your friend, your family. That’s right, with your support United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region already helped 40,000 plus impacted by COVID-19 since March 13th. Last year, your support meant we could help 182,662 people in our community. We respond to the needs in our community to provide support where it is needed most. Your support matters. We are planning to celebrate with you in person during Pull the Plane this fall. We’ll let you know when the date is set, but in the meantime you can sign up to join us at www.pulltheplane.org! If you’d like to become more involved in our work, please speak to us. We’d love to have your help on future projects.

NONPROFIT PARTNER SPOTLIGHTS Food for Kids, TK www.literacyconnections.org
For over 40 years, Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley has been helping adult students learn to read and write and to function independently by recruiting and training volunteers to provide one-to-one and small group tutoring that is student-centered. We work with the lowest literacy level adults who, due to lack of basic literacy and English language skills, are not eligible for other educational or vocational opportunities. Recognizing that illiteracy is a family issue, we also offer reading enrichment to children through our Book Buddies program. Book Buddies volunteers read one-to-one with children who have been identified by their schoolteacher as reading below grade level. Classroom Book Buddies volunteers read aloud with K and Pre-K children to give them a positive experience with books, and Math Buddies helps children improve their math fluency and understand new concepts. Last year, 474 volunteers served over 1,700 adults and children – clocking in 13,971 service hours, and it shows. Adults are reading, getting jobs and promotions, obtaining HSE (GED), and becoming USA citizens. Children are reading with fluency and gaining confidence, and teachers are singing the praises of the Book Buddies program. All this is possible because of the generosity of our volunteers, funders, and community partners. www.literacyconnections.org
MASTER OF CEREMONY JOE DAILY Joe, known by many as the “Morning Mayor of the Hudson Valley” has been entertaining audiences, both on air and in person, for over 40 years. For his many loyal listeners of all ages, his warmth and quick wit have become a happy part of their morning routine. And Joe enjoys his audience just as much, as he considers himself privileged to be part of people’s lives and, besides providing music, information and lots of chuckles every morning, hopes to encourage and support the wonderful individuals, families, community organizations and businesses that, with him, call the Hudson Valley home. Joe is a firm believer in the power of radio to entertain, inform, encourage and motivate. Besides his on-air hours, Joe participates in a wide variety of community events, lending his on and off-air support to many local organizations working to improve the lives of the residents of the Hudson Valley. You can hear Joe on Q92 at 92.1 FM every Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
