"Meet and Eat"

By Sally Stern and Lisa Fambro

The Meet and Eat gathering took place in August at a very different location than previous months.  About 8 members went to see the show "Annie" at the Tarrytown Music Hall, put on by the Random Farms Kids Theater.  Don't let the name of the organization fool you.  This was a highly professional show put on by Anya Wallach, founder of RFKT.  The 27 or so kids were selected from auditions (about 250 children auditioned) and the adults all had musical backgrounds and had voices comparable to any Broadway show.

The show moved rapidly, the dancing was exciting, and the entire cast displayed their talents to a very high degree.  Even our County Executive, Andy Spano, got into the show as he portrayed F.D.R. on opening night.
