President’s Letter
A holiday note from our President
Mitti & Melissa Liebersohn
“What gives Mitti and me pleasure is helping other people,” says Melissa. “We’re fulfilled when a parent calls to say we’ve really helped their kid. Between Mitti’s philanthropy and my social work, we’re lucky enough to have the satisfaction of helping people on a large scale, and within the community on a personal level. As people say, ‘giving is its own reward’!”
Purple Plains
Cannabis is legal for regulated ‘recreational’ sale, and permitted use in most places where smoking a cigarette is allowed, in both New York and Connecticut. However, by quirk of law, exercise of government, and twist of fate, Purple Plains - located at 32 Westchester Avenue in Pound Ridge - is the only licensed cannabis store in the B&NC area!
Epic Soccer
“With Epic Soccer we’re providing organized sports for kids who otherwise wouldn’t get to play,” says Jessica Bennett, co-founder of this Darien Soccer Association-supported organization, now in its second year. “It isn’t a fully structured typical game - sometimes it’s just kicking it around - but the athletes are building basic skills, building relationships with one another and with their high school mentors, getting a sense of teamwork, making great strides, feeling successful, and having fun!”
THE PANTRY
The Pantry, presently located in the United Methodist Church at 300 Main Street in Mt. Kisco, distributes approximately 1,000,000 pounds of food and 1,300,000 meals per annum - making it the largest weekly-choice food pantry serving the 21 towns in Northern Westchester!
Dr. Jessie Stone
Dr. Jessie Stone is the modern day Albert Schweitzer - but who you’ve never heard of! She’s devoted her life to providing primary healthcare, health education and disease prevention and lives in a rural malaria-infested region along the Nile River in Uganda more than half of each year. …And then she runs a kayaking camp for disadvantaged children on the Housatonic River in Connecticut each summer, in her ‘spare time’!
The Katonah Museum of Art
You Can’t Spell Museum Without ‘U’ And ‘ME’
The Museum was founded in 1954 by a group of local women who had the audacious idea that they could bring the best of the art world to their community. …Now that vision is reality at the Katonah Museum of Art!
