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.

IN BRIEF

Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship gets county boost

Oct 4, 2024
Patricia Byrns, director of development, Emily Bushnell, executive director, equine partner Stryker, Lisa Maksimyadis, instructor and barn assistant, County Legislator Erika Pierce and Laurie Ciavardini, LCSW-R and military clinical counselor.

Westchester County Legislator Erika Pierce has announced $6,592 in funding for 2024 to support Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship and its female veterans program in partnership with Montrose VA Medical Center.

Founded in 2014, Endeavor offers equine-assisted services to individuals with disabilities, at-risk youth, veterans, active duty military, school groups, and incarcerated women. 

A statement from Pierce said the funding reflects her commitment, and that of the Board of Legislators, to the well-being and resilience of all community members, especially those who have served their country.

“The work that Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship does to support our veterans, as well as others in our community including at-risk youth, community members with a broad range of disabilities, and incarcerated women, is so critical,” Pierce said. “Having watched our veterans interact with the trained staff at Endeavor, you can see very clearly the difference made by these therapy sessions. As a member of the Board of Legislators, I am so happy to be able to be a partner in this critical work, especially in support of female veterans, a population which is particularly underserved, and also, by providing a virtual program to give access to those without transportation.” 

Endeavor Therapeutic Horsemanship is located at 556 Croton Lake Road, Bedford Corners. For more information, visit endeavorth.org.
