First Girls’ Night Out
Sound Shore Medical Center (SSMC) recently hosted the first gathering of its newest support group, Girls’ Night Out. Eighteen enthusiastic women gathered in SSMC’s Fesjian Pavilion atrium for an evening devoted to camaraderie and good cheer.
Through a community grant from the Junior League of Westchester on the Sound, SSMC’s Cancer Program established a support group that will provide a pleasant evening focusing on non-medical topics. Girls’ Night Out will bring women together with the common denominator – breast cancer – with the sole purpose of sharing new experiences as friends and supporter.
The first meeting featured a cooking demonstration by Brian MacMenamin of Post Road Ale House in New Rochelle that resulted in the evening’s delicious dinner fare. Surprisingly, smoke from searing the filet mignon for an appetizer resulted in an unexpected visit from the New Rochelle Fire Department. After determining there was no reason for concern, one of the firemen - in full gear – jokingly gave a quick stir to the “problem” steaks before leaving. After this, Mr. MacMenamin continued with the mouth-watering entrée of pasta primavera with chicken and shrimp.
Needless to say the first meeting of Girls’ Night Out was an evening to remember for the 18 individuals who gathered for the first meeting– not only for the camaraderie, the wonderful food and the promise of new friendships, understanding and support but also for the charming, unexpected guests.
The next meeting of Girl’s Night Out is scheduled for September and will feature a cosmetic demonstration. Anyone interested in attending should call 914.365.3754 to reserve a seat.
