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.

The Town of Bedford will feature a day of art, shopping, live music and festivities at its inaugural Art Crawl Saturday, Oct.19. The first-of-its kind event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the town’s three hamlets of  Katonah, Bedford Village and Bedford Hills.

More than 60 local artisans working in an array of art forms will display their work for sale. Available items include painting, pottery, photography, vintage finds, leather goods, stationery and jewelry. Arts Westchester will also provide their Mobile Art truck, providing art classes for adults.

Each hamlet will feature different artisans and live music, and local shops will be open for business, dining and drinks. For a full list of participants and festivities in each hamlet, visit bedfordartcrawl.com.

Visitors from outside the area are invited to take Metro-North trains to Katonah or Bedford Hills stations, where free transportation will be provided to the Art Crawl.

“Inspired by Katonah’s Fall Art Walk, where we typically attract hundreds of visitors, I am thrilled that Bedford is expanding the program to showcase regional talent. Inviting artisans from around the region has contributed to the success of the Katonah Art Walk and we are thrilled to expand this to a townwide event,” said Casey Carter, head of the Katonah Chamber of Commerce.

“Bedford is a magnet for creativity and talent,” commented Bedford Town Supervisor Ellen Calves. “With Caramoor, the Katonah Museum of Art and the Bedford Playhouse serving as cornerstones for the arts, our ability to now bring together local artists, exhibits and merchants is a perfect example of what makes Bedford unique and special.” 

Laurie Hilliard, Bedford business promoter, added, “We can’t wait to welcome neighbors and visitors from around the region to spend the day exploring, shopping, dining and enjoying the vibrancy of Bedford’s historic hamlets.”

The Bedford Art Crawl is a collaboration between the Town of Bedford, Destination 39.3, the Katonah Chamber of Commerce and the Bedford Village Business Association. The Recorder is the event media sponsor.
