Pine Bush NY News Flash - Senior Citizens Enjoy Dinner And A Show

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty
What fun last night was.  The annual "Dinner and a Show" was a major success.  This event held as a final dress rehearsal for the Pine Bush High School musical production made hundreds of area senior citizens happy.  The seniors, some of them arriving on buses donated by the local school bus company, were treated to a great meal donated by many local businesses.  They had fun buying raffle tickets that gave them a chance to win one of 41 donated prizes ranging from gift cards for food and services to a lovely framed print of a historic postcard of the early Main Street in Pine Bush NY (part of the Community Heritage program at my brokerage- you can visit my company website to see historic maps and post cards from many local communities.) The proceeds of the raffle are used by FAME (Families Assisting Music Education) for their great work in supporting music programs and scholarships for graduating students.

Following dinner they all were ushered into the auditorium for a sneak peek at "Footloose".  I was not able to see the whole thing as I was busy helping out in the back but it sounded great and the senior citizens loved it.  I think you are in for a treat if you are able to make it to one of three performances this weekend.  Opening night is Friday, curtain at 8:00 PM, and there are two performances Saturday at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM.  

Cast and crew went off to school this morning wearing t-shirts to promote the musical to the other students at the school.  Many of them glamed it up 80's style.  I took a photo of my daughter on her way out the door but she grabbed the camera to use at school before I could download the shot.  (I hope to add it to the post later today, check back!)

All in all it makes me glad to be a part of a community that cares.  The Pine Bush Central School District brings together residents from parts of 3 counties and many villages and towns.  All were represented last night in generous donations and by the senior citizens who came out to enjoy this event.  Come on out and see the show this weekend.  The ticket sales support future drama and musical events at the school.

Please contact me if you would like more information about becoming a part of our community.  We would love to have you here!
