Tarrytown's Project Daffodiil

It’s almost October and time to plant more daffodil bulbs! These cheery blooms are perennials, so if you plant this autumn, your yard or neighborhood will be a lovely place to be next spring!

The Tarrytown Beautification Foundation is offering daffodil bulbs to our village at the wholesale price of only $75 per bushel. You will have about 450-500 mixed variety bulbs to plant in your yard. Perhaps you can interest some of your neighbors to share a bushel and plant more daffodils each year.

You can plant the bulbs about 20-25 to a hole for a nice display, or you can plant them in ones and twos. If a few of you share a bushel or more, your neighborhood will be in bloom by mid April!

This is the fourth year of Project Daffodil. Our original goal was to plant 10,000 bulbs a year for ten years ending up with 100,000 daffodils by the spring of 2016. The enthusiasm for Project Daffodil has been so great, that Tarrytowners have already planted 80,000 plus bulbs! TBF hopes to celebrate the 100,000 bloom mark in April 2010.

If you would like to buy a bushel, please contact Patricia Pinckney

patriciapinckney@aol.com

by October 1.

Fresh Air Fund needs families THIS SUMMER!

Please read Laura Laub's message below.

Thanks,
Katharine

Hi all -

This is our fourth summer hosting our Fresh Air Fund child for a week of summer fun. It has been a wonderful experience for him and for our own children.

The Fresh Air Fund has asked us to reach out to our friends and neighbors as the need for host families this year is greater than ever. Social services have been dramatically cut due to the economy and many kids are left with little or nothing to do this summer.

Please help out if you can. It is a great way to reach out, give back, help out and make a difference.

Visit www.freshair.org to learn more about the fund. Or contact Rberinsky@freshair.org to learn more about hosting this summer.

Please forward this on to your friends!

And please take a moment to watch the Fresh Air arrivals in Syracuse NY!

Food Inc. opens July 1

Food, Inc.

Opens July 1

"Food, Inc. is more than a terrific movie-it's an important movie, one that nourishes your knowledge of how the world works (or, in this case, has started not to work)." (Entertainment Weekly)

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner talks to best-selling authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (Omnivore's Dilemma) to lift the veil on our nation's food industry—a nexus of mechanized farms, engineered food, and unhealthy practices that's been effectively hidden from American consumers by slick public relations and slack government regulation. This eye-opening documentary explains how unfettered corporations exploited laws and subsidies to create wholesale monopolies, and explores how modern developments in food production pose grave risks to our health and environment.

Opening Night, July 1, 7:00 pm with Frederick Kirschenmann, a longtime leader in sustainable agriculture. Kirschenmann is President of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Pocantico Hills and Distinguished Fellow for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. He also oversees management of his family's 3,500-acre certified organic farm in south-central North Dakota.

Warner Library's Cruise on the Hudson JULY 11

GET ON BOARD WITH WARNER LIBRARY’S SECOND ANNUAL DISCOVERY & ADVENTURE CRUISE UP THE HUDSON – WITH PIRATES!

What could be more lovely than being on a boat on the Hudson River as the sun sets over the Palisades? Add a warm breeze, a cool cocktail, a gourmet dinner and dancing and you have yourself the perfect summer evening affair! On July 11, from 7-10 p.m. help support the Warner Library for our second annual Fundraising Cruise by climbing aboard the River Rose, a New Orleans-style paddleboat, as we take 150 adventure-seeking guests up the Hudson River for a three-hour boating adventure.

This year, our theme is Discovery & Adventure, and our guests will enjoy international appetizers by Mint, gourmet Box Dinners by Chiboust, full open bar, dancing, Tarot Card Readings, hand-drawn temporaryTattoos, a Massage Station provided by Oasis Spa in Dobbs Ferry, and a surly Pirate and his Wench (meant in the nicest of way). The evening will also include a Silent Auction featuring such items as A Night’s Stay & Breakfast for Two at the Westchester Renaissance Hotel, A Family Membership at the Tarrytown YMCA, Kayaking for Two on the Hudson, a Weeks Stay at a lovely apartment in Mexico, and much more.

This year’s event will honor JoAnne Murray, whose generous volunteer efforts on behalf of the villages of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow have spanned over 25 years. JoAnne is a co-owner of Allan Block Insurance Agency in Tarrytown.

Funds raised through the 2009 Cruise will be applied to the library’s Capital Campaign, which has already seen the completion of a historic restoration of the library’s entry vestibule, circulation area, and new Audubon Room, including the restoration of the original chandeliers and glass-paned ceiling oculus and moving forward will help to update and improve the library’s Reference Area.

To purchase tickets, or for additional information about the event, or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities, please call Jenifer Ross at 914-862-1754, or email her at jross.warnerlibrary@gmail.com.

Space on the boat is limited to 150 guests, and tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are $150 per person and include all of the on-board food, beverages and attractions. We hope you will join us for this memorable journey up the Hudson River.

School Budget PASSED!

Thanks to all who voted today and supported the School Budget.

The vote was 725 YES - 503 NO

Onward!!!

School Budget Vote on TUESDAY, May 19

From the school district's web site:

Budget Vote: May 19, 2009 7:00am -9:00pm

Tarrytown Location: Washington Irving School
Sleepy Hollow Location: Morse School

Proposed Budget 2009 - 2010
The Board of Education adopted their proposed 2009-10 school budget on April 2. The budget represents a 3.89% increase in spending and will require an estimated increase in the property tax levy of 2.35%.

The spending plan reflects a reduction of about $2 million in expenditures below the level that would be necessary to support a typical operating budget for next year. Spending reductions were achieved by reducing discretionary spending categories, such as materials and supplies, contracted services, and textbooks, below this year’s level, eliminating 8.5 instructional and 10 non-instructional positions, and reconfiguring school bus runs.

The district was able to reduce the tax rate without having to pursue further staff reductions through a voluntary employee contribution commitment in excess of $150,000 for the 2009-10 school year. The goal of the administration's approach has been to employ a multi-year budget perspective designed to position the district for an eventual "soft landing" by reserving some options for reducing growth in future spending beyond the coming year while avoiding wholesale elimination of programs and services.

Go to the district's website at www.tufsd.org for a copy of the proposed budget.

What a weekend!

Dear Friends,

The Foundation Dinner Dance on Saturday night still seems surreal to me... It was really humbling to be honored for what I do by people who do SO MUCH themselves!

I am in awe of all the people who sold ads for the beautiful journal, who wrote the wonderful pieces for the journal, who got all the great items for the auctions, who set up the silent auction, who played the music, who designed and made the gorgeous center pieces, who ran the live auction, who bought the items, who processed folks as they left the event, and who still have more work to do now that the magical night is over ... all to support the Foundation that gives to all our kids.

I thank you all for the kudos. I commend AYSO, Wolfpack, and TNT for all they do. I am SO proud of my kids, I can't stand it, and I'm thrilled that my parents and in-laws could be there with me. They were so proud of all of us!

We often wonder if the Dinner Dance is really worth it. There's got to be an EASIER way to raise money, right? But we always come back to the fact that there is something about getting so many people together to share in our pride for what happens in our schools every day. We see the art work displayed, and we hear the music of the HS Jazz Band. We hear the speeches and know that our money is important and being put to good use. AND, we get to get dressed up and have a good time.

Here's to another successful Dinner Dance.

Thanks to all,
Katharine

And what a weekend it was!

As promised, this past weekend in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow was very busy!

I started out the weekend with a DELICIOUS dinner at the new Sweet Grass Grill with my husband. The food was just awesome - full of flavor, fresh and beautifully presented.

On Saturday, I helped out as AYSO registered soccer players and volunteers for next fall and spring. TNT Baseball and Softball had their annual photo day and Wolfpack Football registered thier players ALL at WI where AYSO teams practiced on the fields.

Patriots' Park was the site of the 2nd Annual Rotary Duck Derby and the YMCA's Healthy Kids' Day. The poor folks in the duck costumes roasted (!) but the events were enjoyed by all in attendance. There was food, the YMCA Dancers, vendors, bouncy castles, and the local fire houses provided the man power and the water to make Andre Brook a beautiful route for the yellow rubber duckies to race. Folks young and old enjoyed the unusually warm day and fun activities, and hopefully the Y and the Rotary raised money for all that they do for the community.

Also, Warner Library had its semi-annual book sale on Saturday and Sunday, and there was a Hispanic Health Fair that was very well attended on Saturday at John Paulding School. The SHHS Football team sponsored a car wash at the HS.

Morse was the site of the gently used clothing and sports equipment sale. I did not attend, but imagine it was well received.

I sure hope you were able to enjoy our beautiful villages this past weekend. Perhaps you did some yard work and gardening! I sure did!!!
