Lewis County Emerging Professionals to Host Annual
Christmas Party & Fundraiser
A spirited night of trivia, holiday cheer, and
fundraising to support Santa for Seniors
LOWVILLE, NY — Lewis County
Emerging Professionals (EP) will host its annual Christmas Party &
Trivia Night on Wednesday, December 3, from 5:30–8:00 PM at Jeb’s
Restaurant in Lowville. The event is open to the public and will raise
funds to support Santa for Seniors, a holiday program coordinated by the
Lewis County Office for the Aging that delivers gifts and necessities to
local older adults.
The evening will
feature appetizers, festive holiday attire, and a three-round trivia
competition beginning at 6:00 PM. Trivia registration is $10 per person,
with teams of up to five. The winning team will receive half of the
registration proceeds, with the remaining half donated directly to Santa
for Seniors. Additional onsite donations are welcomed.
This year’s event
helps kick off the organization’s preparations for a major milestone: EP
will celebrate 10 years in 2026.
Founded in 2016
as a capstone project of the Lewis County Leadership Academy, Emerging
Professionals began when participants recognized a need for a group that
helped young adults connect socially and professionally.
Co-founder and
current Board President McKenzie Lehman offers
these reflections on the group’s origins:
“EP started after one of our classmates
mentioned that where he came from, young professionals’ groups helped
people build community. We knew Lewis County needed something like that — a
way for like-minded people to connect, whether they were lifelong residents
or newcomers to the community.
I’m proud of all the connections I’ve
made and the success stories of people who were able to integrate into the
community more easily because of EP. That’s exactly what we hoped this
group would do.”
Over the past
decade, EP has hosted monthly happy hours, its
Get on Board initiative, networking opportunities, volunteer events, and
social gatherings that have brought together adults across ages and
industries.
The Dec. 3
Christmas Party & Trivia Night is open to anyone interested in
attending, regardless of membership. EP members will receive a token for a
complimentary drink.
