Lewisboro Community Volunteer Fair returns

The annual Lewisboro Community Volunteer Fair returns to the Lewisboro Library on Saturday, March 1, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The fair matches would-be volunteers with local organizations in need of help. Organizers say it’s a great way to find out about all the volunteer opportunities in the area.

Stop by and speak with representatives of local groups who will have tables at the library with information on their services and volunteer needs.

There are volunteer opportunities for adults and teens. 

The fair is the perfect way for newcomers to discover what the town has to offer, for retirees to put their skills to work in volunteer positions and for families to teach the importance of giving back to others. It is also a good opportunity for high school seniors to learn about potential senior internships.

Lewisboro Library is located at 15 Main St., South Salem. For more information, visit lewisborolibrary.org.


Caramoor president leaving at end of March

Caramoor President and CEO Edward J. Lewis III will leave the organization March 31 to pursue new opportunities closer to his home in Washington, D.C.

In his four-year tenure, Lewis led the institution through a complex post-COVID environment, and materially contributed to the venerable legacy of Caramoor and the Rosen House.

Working in partnership with the board of trustees and Caramoor staff, Lewis led the finalization and implementation of a strategic plan aimed at ensuring a sustainable path for Caramoor’s future. The initiatives of this plan included diversifying musical programming, a renewed commitment to building new audiences through meaningful and relevant community engagement, and an increased leveraging of technology and data to improve operations and inform strategic decisions.

Lewisboro town historian Maureen Koehl is offering a glimpse into Lewisboro’s “attic treasures,” items from the historian’s storeroom that have been donated to the town over the years. 

Items in the town historian’s collection of artifacts range from farm equipment and Alice Poor family memorabilia to a selection of 19th century quilts. They will be on display daily on the first floor of the Onatru farmhouse from Saturday, Feb. 22 through Saturday, March 1. 

The display includes quilts from the Cyrus Russell 19th century collection and farm equipment from South Salem and Vista farms, as well as family bibles, daybooks, diaries, toys, and military memorabilia from the Civil and world wars. Several works from late local artist, Flora Viale, will be on display, as well as mystery objects for visitors to determine their possible use.  

Lewisboro residents willing to offer additional vintage or antique items for the display are asked to contact Koehl at funnyfarm2.ss@verizon.net.
