Briarcliff Rotary's Satellite Club; Pleasantville Students Harvest Produce

1) Several Pleasantville High School students recently helped harvest kale, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, and squash. The garden club was able to sell the fresh produce that afternoon as a fundraiser.

2) The one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, which tore through Hudson Valley communities, downing trees, taking out power lines and leaving millions of dollars of damage, was Oct. 29. Habitat for Humanity of Westchester Executive Director Jim Killoran urges people to review disaster plans.

3) The Rotary Club of Briarcliff Manor is forming a satellite club for locals who desire to join the Club, but who find it a challenge to attend the Club's lunch meetings which currently take place on Fridays. Members of this satellite club would enjoy full benefits of membership in the Club, including membership in the District and in Rotary International, but would simply meet at a different time and place. More details here.

4) United Way of Westchester and Putnam is launching the newest leadership group: early-to-mid-career professionals joining forces to make a positive difference in the communities where they live and work. Emerging Leaders United for a Cause kicks off on Thurs., Nov. 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Swiss Re in Armonk. More details here.

5) There is a slight chance of rain before noon, according to the National Weather Service. Otherwise, it is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 57.
