Elliot Mackin kicked things off with an icebreaker charade game!

Youth enjoyed a scrumptious dinner of homemade baked ziti and sausage and peppers. Bellies full, hearts even fuller!

Following dinner, Elliot guided the youth to the beautifully adorned columbarium, where candles and icons set the scene for prayer and reflection. A truly serene moment of connection.

S’mores over an open fire added a sweet touch to the night.

The grand finale? Pumpkin carving!

A huge thanks to Liz Brooks, Charlie Affel, and Elliot Mackin for making this evening so much fun! Your light and presence made all the difference. Charlie’s homemade cookies were delicious.

Kudos to all the kids who had an amazing time. Thanks for being part of this memorable night!
