Preparing for Halloween & Snow?
|
|
A hint of what's to come this season appeared, as our kids in the Rhinebeck residence, carved pumpkins for Halloween. Their artwork was displayed out front for thousands of passersby to view.An unexpected early snow was the topping on the cake (or the pumpkin) which added to the fun of the holiday!!

| NYC Event, Another Success |
Our Young Professionals Board has done it again, with an engaging evening at The East Wing,in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The focus of the event was to promote our Paint What You Feel Program, and attendees of the event were able to view work as well as purchase pieces of children's art.

Halloween was already exciting enough with pumpkin carving,costumes and candy, but it was met with even more excitement this year at our
Rhinebeck Residence as snow blanketed our newly created pumpkin art.This of course, set the stage for the upcoming holiday season and Astor's annual
Adopt-A-Family program.This program is an important way that individuals can contribute in to Astor families in need during the holidays. Please consider becoming a donor this season.
Don't forget to set your clocks back at 2am this Sunday morning, which will be the end of Daylight Savings for this year!!!
