Cocktails at Sunset is the premier fundraiser for the Chamber and our theme,
Lighting Up Rhinebeck, is meant to provide funds that will be used not only for the traditional Village tree lighting but for other ongoing  projects and Chamber programs that will draw business to our area. The success of this event is credited largely to our sponsors, who lend us their names and financial support.  Our ability to continue to fund the tree lighting and additional projects depends on the support and contributions of our Chamber members.
