Baseball season has started, Little League is off and running and the crocuses and daffodils are flowering-- all despite the chilly temperatures. Spring events are upon us and I continue to see little girls in their pretty spring colors, rebelling against the weather of the past couple of weeks. I guess it's time to follow the signs and get out and about, bundled up or not! The weekends are full of fun options, so brave the great outdoors and get out, it has to feel like spring eventually!

Save the Date for a Spring Fling at the Katonah Museum of Art!

Join us in celebration of our community, our local businesses, new and old friends, and of course, the Katonah Museum of Art.

Wednesday, May 30th
11:30am to 2:00pm

There will be raffles, goody bags, and specials offered by merchants too-- all goodies for you with no pressure-- so come to be wined and dined and just relax!

Please join us on Saturday April 14, 8:30 to 1:30 for a Gardening Party!

The Mount Kisco Day Care Center is looking for volunteers to help get our gardens ready for the children to begin planting for our FEED ME FRESH NUTRITION PROGRAM.

We need your muscles, your garden tools and your enthusiasm! We will be cleaning out the beds, turning soil, fixing trellises and sharing a great day in the sun. We could really use help getting the Center Gardens ready for spring planting. We continue to sustain our commitment to and develop our innovative food and nutrition program-- the Gardens are a vital part of the success of our curriculum so please come, help and enjoy a fine spring day with us.

Light Refreshments will be served.
