Announcing Conkling Hall Week

Just a year ago, we were busily preparing for the Chili Cook Off and Autumn Fest. It was a great occasion for bringing the community together, sampling each other’s chili, bidding on a few silent auction items and supporting the Hall.

Sadly, COVID-19 prevents us from holding our usual annual Fall fundraising activities this year and we have sorely missed seeing so many of you at the usual spring and summer musical, theater and other events that over the years have become an essential part of the Rensselaerville and Hilltown experience.

But just keeping the lights on and maintaining, insuring, and improving a 181 year old building is expensive and requires lots of volunteer effort. So on Monday, October 5, we are initiating Conkling Hall Week: a week of fund raising, planning, volunteering, and rolling out new services.

We will be sending out multiple emails with suggestions on how you can help, and we will include photos and maybe even a video showing some of what we have been up to.

So keep an eye on that inbox (and add us to your contact list) and get ready to reconnect with Conkling Hall! But why wait? You can Donate Now!
