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

Garden Club's holiday salute to veterans

Dec 20, 2024

The ninth district Federated Garden Clubs of New York is continuing its long-standing holiday tradition of honoring veterans residing at the Veterans Home in Montrose. Members across the ninth district, including those from the Hopp Ground Garden Club of Bedford, recently came together to create beautiful wreaths that were donated to the Veterans Home, making entrances to residents’ rooms more welcoming and festive for the holiday season.

The effort had the generous support of local businesses and organizations. ShopRite in Mount Kisco donated wreaths to the Hopp Ground Garden Club, and the Bedford Audubon Society allowed the club to use space for assembly and decoration. 

Bedford Audubon’s office administrator, Susan Sloan, said “Garden club members are so warmhearted and generous in supporting our veterans with their time and talents. It’s an honor for us to assist them in any way we can.” 

Maria Carlino, chair of the Hopp Ground Garden Club Veterans Committee, helped organize this year’s event. “We hope the holidays are a little brighter for the people at the Veterans Home.”
