This Saturday there will be a Voter Registration Jam at the Chance Theater with music by D.J. Slim, Food from Mama La's Catering and professional registration assistance from the Northern Dutchess NAACP. If you are not a registered voter and are 18 years and older, come see us. If you are formerly incarcerated and are unaware of your right to vote, come see us.

Special Thanks to Trish and Frank of the Empire Training Center for the Arts for giving us this venue. For those of you who are creative- young and old- The Empire Training Center for the Arts offers a 10 month, 3 day a week workforce program in Technical and Arts Administration; these jobs do not require a college degree. Just think of all those people behind the scene of your favorite plays and TV shows. This is an industry most of us don't think of, but the people who are in it live comfortable lives. This is a great career to look into and we will have information available at the event, come see us.

See you there.
