Seniors have new meeting place — and maybe new van

By THANE GRAUEL //

The Lewisboro Town Board recently voted to pursue a Community Development Block Grant for a new 11-seat van for senior citizens.

It would replace a 12-year-old bus that has needed extensive repairs in recent years. It is used to take seniors, some of whom might otherwise be stuck at home, to activities and events.

The town board voted to approve the grant request at its Aug. 12 meeting. The request was pursued by Kerri Wolfe, chief of staff/benefits coordinator, resident Dottie Podalak, Parks and Recreation Supervisor Nicole Caviola and Senior Director Pam Veith. 

Also, the Lewisboro Seniors have announced that after meeting “temporarily” at the South Salem Firehouse for 27 years, a new, larger meeting place has been obtained.

The group will now have its Wednesday meetings at Stevens Memorial United Methodist Church, located at 9 Shady Lane, South Salem. Anyone 50 and older is welcome to come to the meetings, from  9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

At its weekly Wednesday meeting on July 30, the group was visited by Town Supervisor Tony Gonçalves, Wolfe, Caviola and Veith, for a Q&A session.

For more information, contact Veith at (914) 232-6162.

Model train show on display in Bedford Hills through Jan. 28

The Bedford Hills Historical Museum is hosting a “New Model Train Show” on the lower level of the Town of Bedford building located at 321 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills.

The display is open Thursday and Saturday through Jan. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. 

Visitors can see the HO Gauge model trains run on the track in the village that was built by the late Dr. Robert Bibi of Katonah and donated by his wife, Maria, and reinstalled at the museum. With the guidance of our board member and train aficionado, Rick Carmichael, members of the Olde Newburgh Model Railroad Club installed the HO-gauge set at the museum where it remains on display. 

The museum says the new model train display is great for kids of all ages and adults, and it’s free of charge.
