St. Patrick's Day Dance

Our dances continue to be a big success! Everyone has a great time and leaves with a smile on their face. This St. Patrick's Day dance was no different!

You could see a sea of green shirts on the dance floor while all that attended danced the night away to the great music the DJ was playing. The only break many participants took was to enjoy a slice or two of pizza. It was a great night socializing with friends, something we always love to see here at South East!

Valentine's Day Dance

What’s better than Valentine’s Day falling on a Friday? A South East Consortium Valentines dance on a Friday night!

Participants cut a rug and shook a tail feather last Friday night at the Posillipo Center in Rye Brook to the sweet sounds of DJ Mike.  These dances are a fan favorite here at South East bringing out large numbers of party goers. Many participants dance until they can’t dance anymore.

Apart from being a great physical outlet dancing is great medium of expression and a wonderful opportunity to socialize with peers.

Several Friday night groups spent the first half of the evening eating dinner on Mamaroneck Avenue and being bused over by SEC transportation afterwards. While two other Friday night groups met at the dance and hoped right onto the floor.

After DJ Mike packed up his gear the crowd enjoyed some sweet Valentine’s Day cake and wrote some cards to friends, family and maybe even a special unsuspecting sweetheart.

Valentine’s Day can serve a loving pick me up during a cold and dark month. It was a warm and joyous occasion to be with so many good friends this Valentine’s Day.

Glow Party!

The biggest hit of the season was the SEC Glow Party with over 50 participants in attendance!!!

With face painting, a glow wall and numerous giveaways South East was glowing with excitement!

Everyone had fun dancing the night away under the black lights.

Luau Party

Aloha! After a busy summer season South East Consortium participants, family and friends were able to kick their feet up (or let their hair down) at the SEC Family Luau this past Saturday at the Harbor Island Pavilion in Mamaroneck.

Everyone danced the evening away to the bumping sounds of DJ Mike. Favorites such as Cotton Eye Joe, the Cha Cha and hit songs from Grease and High School Musical electrified the dance floor.

“DJ Mike is the best! I love dancing with all my friends at South East parties,” said T.J. Marchese, a long time South East participant.

There was no pig on a spit but the grill was manned masterfully by Gina Jones and her husband Jeremy. It was the perfect party-by-the beach meal of hot dogs, chips, juice and to top it off fresh sliced watermelon.

Lawn games abounded on the beach. An intense game of volleyball quickly developed between staff and participants, hula hoops were spinning and Frisbees were flying.

After some dicey weather at the start of the BBQ the weather settled down producing a picturesque sunset on the Harbor. It wasn’t Hawaii but it was a little piece of paradise for all who attended. Aloha!
