In and Around Kendal: the People of Kendal

Usually at this point we focus on the beauties of the landscape and riverscape of Kendal. Today, we focus on what makes Kendal tick, tock, blossom, and bloom: our Kendal people — residents of our tiny village, their adventures (mild and wild), and their families.

A New Kendal Arrival

A newcomer to Kendal, we welcome Donald Butt, who has retired as organist and choirmaster at Church of St. Barnabas after 55 years of service. 

Chris Mitchell, as a member of the choir, extolled Donald’s service.

A very appropriate retirement cake for the Organ Master.

Awards Night for Young (and Old) at Sleepy Hollow High School

Jane Hart went to Awards Night as Sleepy Hollow High School begins to tie up the academic year. She was proud to applaud her niece, Luthi Mjeweni, a graduating senior, for her awards achieved. And, to Jane’s delight, she saw that the KOH Music Committee had donated a prize and that there was a KOH-donated award to a future nurse, as well. Topping off the night was a Rotary-donated prize in honor of Aubrey Hawes and his years of philanthropy in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. Talk about your win-win evening!
