The WRDA kickoff dinner occurred at The Rye Bar and Grill on Wednesday September 16. Over 30 members attended with at least half of attendees being new members. Several people walked in so there was a great turn out! Attendees schmoozed and networked over appetizers, wine and beverages for about a half hour before the presentation. The speaker was Dr. Elizabeth Wind who led an interactive presentation on mindful eating. Participants were engrossed in a discussion and were given tools to add to their counseling toolbox. A delicious three course dinner followed where participants were seated in a lovely room with tables of about 6 people. Janice Shaw also gave a short plug for the AME which will take place at the Doubletree in Tarrytown in May.
We look forward to seeing you at our October event on "Fearless eating for children" with Jill Castle at Phelps!
Meredith Stanford, Co-President, WRDA
