Bowl Seeks Nominees- SBNC Announces Slate of Candidates

From the Scarsdale Bowl: This week, as we close the book for 2015 on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday, the Scarsdale Bowl Committee will begin its work to select the 2016 recipient of the Scarsdale Bowl. The Scarsdale Bowl, under the sponsorship of the Scarsdale Foundation, has been awarded annually since 1943 to an individual, or in rare instances, to a husband and wife, who has given "unselfishly of his/her time, energy and effort to the civic welfare of the community." The founding donors of the Bowl believed that "many who serve generously and voluntarily, without office, honor or publicity, are those deserving of having their names permanently inscribed on the Scarsdale Bowl."

The Scarsdale Bowl will be awarded at a dinner on Wednesday, April 13, 2016, at The Fountainhead in New Rochelle. The ceremony will pay tribute to the 2016 honoree and to the spirit of volunteerism, central to the civic life of the Scarsdale community.

The Bowl Committee enthusiastically welcomes community input. It will hold its first meeting December 6, 2015, and requests that residents send nominations with suggestions of potential recipients to [email protected], contact Michelle Lichtenberg, chair of this year's Scarsdale Bowl Committee, at 914.725.6545, or visit http://www.scarsdalefoundation.org/bowl_nomination.html.
