Moving on Summer 07 #17 the Semiannual Newsletter of Career Transition for Dancers Family Trees President’S Message Dreams by Cynthia Fischer Broadway at Sardi’s Caitlin Carter, Charlotte d’Amboise, Mercedes Ellington, Donna McKechnie, and Desmond Richardson hosted CTFD “Between Shows,” March 28th. Underwritten by the Shubert Organization for the 4th year, over 80 dancers from the Broadway musicals A Chorus Line, Beauty and the Beast, Chicago, Curtains, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Tarzan, The Pro- ducers, The Lion King, The Pirate Queen, and 110 in the Shade attended. CTFD Board member Caitlin Carter spoke about CTFD’s methodology and programs and introduced clients Ana Maria Andricain of Beauty and the Beast and Todd Michel Smith of Hairspray. Both clients spoke about their introduction to CTFD at last year’s Sardi’s event and how CTFD has helped them develop their skills outside of dance. Through 1-on-1 career counseling and an entrepreneurial grant, Ana Maria started an online jewelry busi- ness, Jewel of Havana (jewelofhavana.com), and has expanded it to five retailers across the USA. Through an educational grant from the Caroline Newhouse Scholarship Fund, Todd recently graduated from col- lege and will pursue a career in Physical Education.

After the performances, nearly 300 patrons took over the dance floor so they could “bust a move” to the 21 piece Harbor Latin Big Band. The event was a huge success thanks to Benefit Chairs Janice Becker, Fe Saracino Fendi, Beth Dannhauser, and Ginny Knott. Honorary Chairs included Peter Martins, Rosie Perez, Chita Rivera, and Sylvia Waters. Ronda and Mark Axelowitz, Caroline Cronson, Lisa I.

Rolex Hosts Gala Luncheon Allen Brill, President and CEO of Rolex Watch USA, hosted a gala kick-off event at Sardi’s. The June fifth luncheon was held to celebrate Anka K. Palitz and The Jerome Robbins Foundation being honored with CTFD’s awards for Outstanding Contributions to the World of Dance at the Annual Gala on October 29, 2007. Twenty-second Anniversary Chairs Allen Brill and Patricia J. Kennedy gave heartfelt speeches about the honorees; dedication to the mission of CTFD, and what an extraordinary privilege it is for the organization to be able to honor Ms. Palitz and the Robbins Foundation. Mr. Brill stated that “the movie industry has Cher, the music industry has Madonna, but the dance industry has Anka.” Ms. Kennedy announced this year’s goal of $1.1 million and the strategy she and the many other hard working gala chairs have created to achieve it. The luncheon was underwritten by the Gala’s Executive Producer Alexander J. Dubé. Thanks to Auction Chair Ann Van Ness, the wine for the event was graciously donated by Beni di Batasiolo, the Official Wine Sponsor of CTFD’s 22nd Anniversary Jubilee.

Brewer archive article, added 10/10/2007 Though the weather belied it, signs of fall are everywhere on the East End and beyond! Harvest festivals, sidewalk sales, and pumpkin and apple picking abound in our villages and hamlets. No surer sign of fall are the many fabulous fetes that kicked off the season. Here’s a little sampling of the wonderful happenings we peeked in on around the area this week. Friday evening art lovers were given a special treat with the Preview Party for the Artists Alliance of East Hampton’s annual fall Studio Tour at East Hampton’s wonderful Walk Tall Gallery. Both events were a resounding success with an enthusiastic attendance of tour-goers and artists alike. Walk Tall Gallery owner Wendy Wachtel told us, "This show and the studio tour reinforce the area's reputation as an artistic wealth of talent." Packing the gallery were many of the artists on the tour and major figures on the East End art scene Gideon Stein, Wendy Wachtel, and June Rosner at the Artist Studio Tour Preview including Frank Sofo, Frances at Walk Tall Gallery.
