Ethan Grossberg, Scarsdale High School junior, and Becca Friedland, SHS sophomore, were inspired by the work their moms were doing to reinvigorate Meals on Wheels Scarsdale, so they decided to form the first ever Meals on Wheels Scarsdale Junior Board. The board began its work in early 2025 with the goal of enhancing the meal delivery experience for all meal recipients. Between birthday bags and Thanksgiving baskets, they continue to brainstorm and execute ways to bring a smile to the faces of the MOW recipients.

In order to bring their ideas to life, the junior board, which also includes Ayla Kantor, Lila Rosen, Hunter Ross and Ryan Sussberg knew they would need to do some fundraising. Becca and Ethan came up with the idea to organize a 5K race in Scarsdale to help raise money to cover the costs of the junior board initiatives, as well as have additional dollars to keep Meals on Wheels running effectively. The first ever Meals on Wheels Frosty 5K is scheduled for December 14th at 10:00 am at Scarsdale High School. We hope Scarsdale residents will register to come support this special, and very necessary, organization. People can run, walk, come alone, bring a friend, come as a family...however they want, we just hope to see them there! See the link and flyer for registration information.

Charis Chamber Voices celebrates the season with Rejoice!, its annual Holiday Concert: Friday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m. at St. James the Less Episcopal Church, 10 Church Lane, Scarsdale, NY, and Sunday, December 14, at 4:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of New Canaan, 178 Oenoke Ridge Road, New Canaan, CT. Charis’s Artistic Director, Jeremy Wiggins, conducts, accompanied by the organist Terrence Flanagan.

Benjamin Britten’s Festival Te Deum offers a striking, multi-layered treatment of this historic text, while his mystical Rejoice in the Lamb showcases his imaginative use of poetry and sound. Antonio Vivaldi’s radiant Gloria crowns the program with music as glorious and uplifting as the season itself, and Gustav Holst’s Christmas Day, a fantasy on familiar carols, carries on the holiday spirit. Charis’s famous wine and cheese reception will follow each concert. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable celebration with you!

Tickets are $25 ($20 for seniors and $15 for students). They may be purchased in advance through the Charis website, www.charisvocals.com, or at the door.

Charis is an auditioned chorus of about 30 men and women from Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. Founded in 1994, the group is renowned for its diverse repertoire, unique blend of voices and captivating performances.
