Sleepy Hollow Trip
There is , indeed, life (and much to see) in Sleepy Hollow beyond the confines of Kendal on Hudson. The Trips Committee has scheduled a free-morning tour of our village with Mayor Ken Wray. There is much to see and hear about in Sleepy Hollow and this is an opportunity to find out about the great community in which we live.
The trip is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25. Sign up in the usual place opposite the Computer Room.
P.S. There is still space on the Sept. 27 trip to the Walkway over the Hudson, Highland to Poughkeepsie. You can sign up for that at the same time.
We Found a Coat Tree!
It will be used in the one woman show, Once In, Never Out, by June Ballinger, Sun. September 24 at 3pm.
Faith Group - High Holy Days
This week’s Faith Group meeting, Thursday, September 21, falls on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the Jewish New Year. While a number of residents will be going to synagogue, for those of all faiths, or no particular faith, who will be at Kendal, it might be interesting to find out about the High Holy Days, their meaning, the traditions that surround them and have a discussion about them. It is in no way a religious service, as always at the Faith Group just an exchange of thoughts every Thursday.
All are welcome.
The Faith Group meets at 10:00 am in the Private Dining Room.
Questions? Get in touch with Gene DuBow
New Trip
The Trips Committee, headed by Jan Myers, has scheduled a new trip, this one to the Union Church in Pocantico Hills.
Union Church, the Rockefeller Church, is noted for its stained glass windows done by Matisse and Chagall. It is a must-see for all art lovers.
The trip will take place on Wednesday, October 18, during the afternoon.
Sign-up in the Trips Book at its usual place opposite the Computer Room.
Steam Boat Models
The late Ariel Verdesi, in addition to being a longtime Presbyterian Minister, was a highly accomplished builder of model boats, particularly steamboats that plied the waters of the Hudson River. Kendal has a love and a direct connection to these now-gone queens of the waterways as its four buildings are named after these ships.
Ariel had hoped to construct one for each of the buildings but before his death completed only two, the Clermont and the Mary Powell.
Ariel's models are displayed at the first floor entrance. His workmanship is outstanding and beautiful. Make sure you stop by and carefully examine what he has done.
Not only was Ariel a great craftsman, he was also a great and wonderful person. We are delighted to have his work exhibited as a remembrance of him.

Do You Have a Coat Tree?
