Hudson Open House
The AIDS Council of Northeastern New York is proud to host an open house on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at its Hudson office. In addition, there will be recognition of long-time supporters Frank and Maria Eigenbrodt in memory of their son, Richard C. Cowen, Jr. The open house is scheduled from 4:00pm-6:00pm with the dedication ceremony taking place at 5:30pm.
During the open house, the AIDS Council will highlight its Hudson initiatives, community services and future plans. The Hudson office has been recently renovated to provide a private space for confidential HIV testing and counseling sessions. The Council also will start a Hudson area HIV support group. For over 24 years the AIDS Council has been providing free prevention programs, testing and client services throughout Northeast New York. The Council has had a dedicated Hudson location for over 16 years.
Frank and Maria Eigenbrodt have been long-time supporters of the AIDS Council and have made extraordinary efforts in raising money and awareness for HIV/ AIDS in their hometown of Hudson. Frank and Maria lost a son, Richie, to this devastating disease and now lend their care and support to others who have lost family members to HIV/AIDS. They coordinate luncheon programs and dinners for clients served through the AIDS Council and each year coordinates a candlelight vigil in recognition of World AIDS Day in December. Further, Frank and Maria organize a team of family, friends and community members for the annual AIDSWalk. Last year their team, “Richie’s Angels”, raised over $8,000. Because of these remarkable efforts, Maria was honored earlier this year as the Father John Lysogorski Non-Profit Volunteer of the Year by the Community AIDS Partnership of the Capital Region. She graciously donated the $1,000 prize to the AIDS Council to further its projects in and around the Hudson community.
