NYSAE Ushers in the Holiday Season

NYSAE members and guests gathered for an evening of fun and cheer at a Holiday Cocktail Party at the rooftop of the American Heart Association. A backdrop of sparkling lights on 42nd Street greeted the sold-out crowd where long-time members and first-timers met for an evening of camaraderie. Music and catering provided by the American Heart Association helped all celebrate the holiday season together.
