An Evening in Monte Carlo to Support SFCS

Scarsdale & Edgemont Family Counseling Service celebrated An Evening in Monte Carlo at the Scarsdale Golf Club on Thursday May 7th. Attendees circulated throughout the club and had the chance to enjoy a spectacular May evening on the patio, socialize inside, or hit the gaming tables. The international cuisine was served buffet style for guests to enjoy.

Croupier's patiently explained the rules of gaming to novices and played skillfully with the card sharks. All winnings from the tables were redeemable for coupons to win a wide variety of enticing prizes.

Jay Genova, who is completing his first year as Director of Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling, crystallized the agency's mission down to "helping families" and spoke of how the evening's theme paralleled the new direction of the agency.

Kathy Steves, President of Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling acknowledged the hard working co-chairs for this event, Peter Strauss and Elise Flagg. Steves also gratefully accepted a generous check to SEFC from the Rotary Club. All in all a relaxing, fun evening was enjoyed by everyone in attendance.

The mission of Scarsdale § Edgemont Family Counseling Service is to strengthen family and community life by providing individual, family and group therapy; outreach to youth; services to older adults; and public programs relating to family life issues. SFCS works in cooperation with other organizations for this purpose.
