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

Aug 17, 2024


Boy Scout Troop 1 of Bedford/Pound Ridge has had an adventurous summer, with a weeklong outing in July at the Ten Mile River Scout Camps in the Catskills and a two-night whitewater rafting trip in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley in June.

Scouts spent the week at Ten Mile River working on merit badges including Motorboating, Rowing, Camping, Game Design, Canoeing, Public Speaking, Whitewater, Citizenship in the Nation, Life Saving, Small Boat Sailing, Electricity, Oceanography, Personal Management, Personal Fitness, Archery, Art, Chess, Communications and Pulp and Paper.

Over the summer they also saw a bald eagle, drove ATVs and threw tomahawks.

The troop was originally chartered by Pound Ridge Community Church in 1943, and since 2018 has been chartered by the Pound Ridge Fire Department

Since its inception, Troop 1 has had a total of 55 five Scouts earn the rank of Eagle, an accomplishment attained by just 6 percent of those who enter the program.
