Just desserts

Alan Chartock gets his just desserts tonight when he's feted for the benefit of the SUNY New Paltz Foundation at 5:30 p.m. at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie.

I'll MC the event honoring the venerable professor/broadcaster. Joining me at the microphone with their best Chartock stories will be SUNY New Paltz Dean Jerry Benjamin, Poughkeepsie Journal Local News Editor Kevin Lenihan, Assemblyman Kevin Cahill and SUNY New Paltz President Steve Poskanzer, among others.

It may not be too late to be there. Call the foundation office at 845-257-3240. See you tonight.
