Among the highlights of the day will be an old fashioned barbecue on the Great Lawn of The Scarsdale Woman's Club and the artisanal beers brewed by Forum member Bruce Wells. The Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corp, the Scarsdale Police Department and the Scarsdale Fire Department will display their vehicles and highlight their services to the community. The Hoff-Barthelson Music School Advanced Jazz Ensemble will perform and other entertaining activities are in the works. Assorted lawn games and arts and craft activities will provide additional entertainment for families and their children. Children are welcome to break in their Halloween costumes; the face painting station will add just the right touch to their attire! The conversation is always lively around the beer tasting station and the dessert station promises the same.

LWVS Book Discussion (Sun. 22 Oct, 2023 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm)
Please join the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale on Sunday, October 22nd from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to discuss Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.
Shortlisted for 2022 Booker Prize, Small Things Like These tells the tale of an Irish coal merchant living in a small Irish town who is forced to confront the horror of Ireland's Magdalene laundries.. "From the elements of this simple existence in an inconsequential town, Keegan has carved out a profoundly moving and universal story. There’s nothing preachy here, just the strange joy and anxiety of firmly resisting cruelty." -Washington Post Review, 12/7/21. Although short (128 pages!), this beautifully told story presents numerous opportunities for discussion both about an individual's conscience and the responsibility of an entire community.
Bronx River Books in Scarsdale Village is offering a 10% discount on the purchase of the book when you mention you are participating in the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale Book Club.
