Rock the Arc back on!

There's good news for music lovers and for people who like to take a chance from Adirondack Arc CEO Scott Stiles this week. The Rock the Arc event is back on and set for Saturday, September 14.

The event has been a fixture in the municipal park each August for the past half dozen years and has highlighted great food, lots of fun for kids and four or five live bands. It has raised thousands of dollars to help the folks under Adirondack Arc's care.

Arc leaders had planned to take a year off this summer, but many of the supporters, sponsors and participants were disappointed. Mr. Stiles, who is both CEO and CFO these days at the 300-employee plus service organization, said their enthusiasm won him over.

One highlight of the annual event is the big drawing, where $100 entitles ticket-holders a chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes. Tickets are available from any agency employee.
