COSY Busts a Move at Dave and Busters
Westbury, NY – Nov 21 – Twenty teens and pre-teens from COSY joined together for an evening of fun,
competition, prizes, and food on Erev Thanksgiving, the night before Thanksgiving. The evening started off
with Pizza and soda at Ohav, followed by the quick drive to Dave and Busters in Westbury. (A special thanks
to Gary Friedman, Fay Duftler, Noam Baruch, and Robin and David Hauser for driving).
Once at Dave and Busters, everyone received their Ian Hauser and David
game cards, complete with 150 electronic tickets, Reitano playing
allowing for an hour and a half of game play. All Deal or No Deal
the kids walked around the game arena in groups,
with excitement to play. The games ranged from
air hockey, competitive Pac Man, Wheel of
Fortune, and skeeball, to all sorts of shooting
games, Tetris games, trivia games, dancing
competitions, and many, many others.
There were many notable moments throughout
the evening, from high scores, silly games, prizes,
and a lot of fun.

Do You Just Belong?
Are you an active member
The kind that would be missed?
Or are you just contented
That your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings and
Mingle with the flock?
Peter, Amy, Rachel,
and Maxine
Or do you just stay at home
Tanenbaum And criticize and knock?
Brian, Fran, Alana, Do you take an active role
and Jessica Green
To help the work along?
Or are you satisfied
To only just belong?
Do you work with everyone
And get right in the mix?
Or leave the work to just a few
And talk about the cliques?
Please come to programs often,
And help with hand and heart.
Rachel Tanenbaum Mitzvah heroes Corey Levy, Rebecca Levy, Don't just be a member
