The TSA-NYHV Fall Family party took place on November 10, 2013 at the Westchester Marriott. Sixty-five chapter members and their friends socialized, dined, and vied for over 20 raffle items, including Best Buy gift cards as well as a remote control car and boat, and 3 silent auction items, all generously donated.Many attendees bought multiple raffle tickets and we had multiple raffle winners, happily announced by some of our young attendees.

We would like to thank Youth Ambassador Julia Gottlieb for her assistance making bracelets with the trendy Rainbow Loom, which was in use for most of the afternoon by both kids and young adults. Parents, teens, and kids also enjoyed the fall card-making station, especially using the card press to make some unique designs on their projects. We really appreciate Linda Sugrue for her time and professional card-making skills that made it such a success. We would also like to send a big thank you to DJ Billy Chin for spinning the tunes and setting the mood for the party.

Last, but not least, we want to thank Shelly Cooler, Ester Sharp, and Amy McWilliams for all their hard work behind the scenes. They not only organized the raffle and auction items, but were responsible for the set up, the fall decor, and all the details that really made it a festive celebration. Thanks again to all those involved and the attendees. We wish everyone a happy and healthy fall season!
