The events at New York City's Tavern on the Green in Central Park were a tremendous success! Due to weather the first event on September 23rd was moved to the Sirovich Senior Center. We thank them for their hospitality! The second event took place, as scheduled, under the canopy of trees on the Tavern terrace. Article here.
