Nancy's Book Group Discusses "Long Island"

Long Island“Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.” - James Baldwin.

Please join Nancy Zachary in the Scott Room to discuss Long Island by Colm Tóibín on Wednesday December 4 at 2 pm.

"An acclaimed novelist revisits the central characters of his best-known work.

"At the end of Brooklyn (2009), Eilis Lacey departed Ireland for the second and final time—headed back to New York and the Italian American husband she had secretly married after first traveling there for work. In her hometown of Enniscorthy, she left behind Jim Farrell, a young man she’d fallen in love with during her visit, and the inevitable gossip about her conduct. Tóibín’s 11th novel introduces readers to Eilis 20 years later, in 1976, still married to Tony Fiorello and living in the titular suburbia with their two teenage children.... Although the novel begins with a soap-operatic confrontation—and ends with a dramatic denouement, as Eilis’ fate is determined in a plot twist worthy of Edith Wharton—the author is a master of quiet, restrained prose, calmly observing the mores and mindsets of provincial Ireland, not much changed from the 1950s.

"A moving portrait of rueful middle age and the failure to connect" - Kirkus.

CNC Invites Public to Organization Meeting Wednesday Night December 4

ScarsdadleCircular LogoThe Citizens Nominating Committee welcomes 12 newly elected members and invites the public to observe its first meeting Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at 8:00 PM. The meeting will be held in the Scott Room at the Scarsdale Public Library. Members of the public wishing to attend the public portion of the organization meeting are more than welcome to attend.

Come to the meeting to learn more about Scarsdale's non-partisan system for selecting candidates to run for Village office on the Scarsdale Citizens' Non-Partisan Party slate.

The CNC consists of 30 elected Scarsdale residents who represent their neighborhood election units (Edgewood, Fox Meadow, Greenacres, Heathcote and Quaker Ridge). New members are elected to the CNC each November to serve staggered three-year terms. The volunteer group will meet over 5-6 meetings from November through January to seek, interview, and evaluate potential candidates to run for Village office. This year the CNC will nominate individuals to run for Mayor and three Trustee positions. The General Village Election will be held on Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

Scarsdale's non-partisan system has been operating successfully for over 100 years, following a contentious election in 1909. The goal of the non-partisan system is to attract qualified citizens who would otherwise avoid campaigning but would be willing to run for office. The CNC's deliberations and due diligence on all potential nominees is kept confidential to further encourage well-qualified volunteers to apply for a spot on the non-partisan slate. Potential candidates also have the option to run for office outside of the Non-Partisan System under provisions of New York State law.

Are you interested in running for the position of Trustee or Mayor? Do you know someone who would serve the Village of Scarsdale well? Contact any elected member of the CNC, or inform the CNC Chair, Raju Sitaula at 917-613-7058 or [email protected]; or CNC Vice Chair, Scott Harris at 914-419-2497 or [email protected].

Documentary Screening: Women Rising: The Scarsdale Suffragists

SuffrageFilmThe Scarsdale Historical Society will premiere its newest documentary, Women Rising: The Scarsdale Suffragists, in partnership with the Scarsdale Public Library on Monday, December 16th at 6:15 PM and 7:30 PM in the Scott Room of the library. This half-hour film tells the little-known story of the courageous women behind the suffrage movement in Scarsdale and how their work shaped the community.

Women Rising features trailblazers like Florence Bethell who lectured, wrote, marched and lobbied for womens’ right to vote - at a village, state and national level. In the face of apathetic and sometimes hostile attitudes toward woman suffrage, the women used creative approaches to educate Scarsdale women on suffrage - from porch parties to suffrage dances.

Their cause was closely tied to service projects that left a lasting legacy on this village. Not only did they publish the Scarsdale Inquirer newspaper, but the women initiated many of Scarsdale’s most important civic and arts programs. Among the organizations the suffragists and committees of the Woman's Club sparked or expanded are the Scarsdale League of Women's Voters, the Visiting Nurse Services, the Scarsdale Foundation, the Scarsdale Ambulance Corp, Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Services, the Girl Scouts, the Wayside Players, the Scarsdale Women's Exchange and the Scarsdale Art Association.

Women Rising is narrated by trustee and Associate Scarsdale Village Historian historian Leslie Chang and includes interviews with Barbara Davis, Director of the Westchester County Historical Society, Linda Leavitt, former Editor of the Scarsdale Inquirer, Scarsdale Public Library Local History Librarian, Daniel Glauber, and Nancy Horrigan, Archivist for the Scarsdale Woman’s Club. The film is written and directed by Lesley Topping and produced by the Scarsdale Historical Society.

Prior to making this film, very little was known about Bethell and her circle of like-minded friends, except for newspaper articles. “The Village archives had very few records and photos of the women, so Leslie Chang tracked down the women’s descendants all over the country; from California, to Mississippi to Martha’s Vineyard,” stated filmmaker Lesley Topping. “Thanks to the women’s descendants, Dan Glauber, and all of the film’s participants, the film unearths and preserves many untold stories and unseen photos.”

“Women Rising captures the spirit, bravery and resilience of the Scarsdale Suffragists,” stated Randy Guggenheimer, President of the Scarsdale Historical Society. “Their crusade was a pivotal step in the continued battle for equal women’s rights and suffrage.”

Following the screening there will be a Q&A with the film’s participants. Admission to the film is free. The event is co-sponsored by the Scarsdale Historical Society and the Scarsdale Public Library. The entire collection of the organization’s films can be viewed here.

The public can register for the premiere here
