Rock you like a  . . .

Hurricane. A number of significant natural disasters have occurred this year on the national level, ranging from wildfires in the west, to Hurricane Harvey in Texas, and most recently Hurricane Irma in Florida and the Caribbean. Scarsdale Official extends our deepest sympathies to the millions of people impacted by such events. Super Storm Sandy is still fresh in the minds of many Scarsdalians, as well. Among the most important proactive things one can do is PREPARE for disasters. Have a plan, practice it, and work it when needed.

Run, Forrest,  . . . err, Brian, Run!

Yep. He's an everyday Olympian, and he's one of our very own. Scarsdale Firefighter Brian Hughes participated in the 2017 World Police and Fire Games in Los Angeles last month, having won a Silver Medal in the two-day Decathlon event. In addition, Brian's 2015 Decathlon performance resulted in the current Master B Class record for that sport -- incredible, Brian! Here's some parting Scarsdale Official bear country wisdom, readers: You don't need to run the fastest; you only need to run faster than the slowest person you are with. Be fit, be well.

9/11 Memorial Service

Hey, Like to Party?

Well, get together with friends and community leaders at the next Freightway Garage Public Workshop being held on September 28th at 7:00 PM at the Scarsdale Congregational Church, 1 Heathcote Road. Seriously. Have fun. Meet people and exchange ideas: Shape.The.Future! What's more, since it's on a Thursday evening you can also hit the Scarsdale Farmers Market in Boniface Circle beforehand to pick-up some fresh, local produce and other items -- be sure to also visit our lovely brick and mortar Village Center shops while there. Shop local!
