Winterfest Welcomes 140 Members and Guests

This letter was sent to Scarsdale10583 by Scarsdale Forum Winterfest co-chairs Linda Blair and B. Kathleen Munguia: The Scarsdale Forum welcomed more than 140 members and guests to Winterfest 2016, its eighth annual membership party at the Scarsdale Woman's Club on Saturday, February 6. Partygoers were greeted at the door by Forum president Howard Nadel as jazz pianist Angelo DiLoreto set the mood for the evening in the festive music room. Bruce Wells held court at the popular beer tasting station featuring his home brewed beers and hot dogs simmering in Yeungling Black & Tan beer for the adventurous. Plates catered a delicious buffet dinner while Forum members Merrell Clark, Neil Klein and Jim Pullman took their turns at the piano entertaining the guests. The boutique Vintage Via Carrie offered delightful vintage jewelry for sale as well as the college memorabilia of several distinguished universities. Fifteen percent of the proceeds were donated to the Forum for future public programs. The evening ended sweetly in the dessert room where guests enjoyed the home baked goodies of several Forum members and a fruit platter donated by Standing Room Only.

We thank local vendors Chat American Grill, 808 Bistro, Imagine Candy, Lange's of Scarsdale, Parkway Cafe, Serenity Nails and Steiner Sports for generously donating door prizes for the event.
