Art Workshop: The Return of Pam
Pamela Deitrich, the noted "free approach to drawing" artist/ teacher, will once again be giving a course at Kendal.
Pam's artistic skills in ink drawing, with her "There are no mistakes - only happy accidents" approach, have thrilled our budding artists before. She will be back on April 5 from 10 am to 12 noon .
Want to give it a try? (The fee is $15) Speak to Bix Smethurst.
The Shredder
Don't you wish you could just shred that person who stepped on your toes the other day? Or, perhaps, do away with the person who picked out the last piece of bargain clothing leaving you to pay full price?
Well, we can't help you with either of those; however if you have unwanted or confidential records (old love letters?) and want them shredded, the Westchester Mobile Shredder can help you. It will be at the parking lot opposite Village Hall on Beekman Ave. on Saturday, March 24 from 10 am to 1pm.
See the March 19 Spotlight for particulars.
New Trip
How does the Trips Committee do it? Before you can turn around, a new trip has been planned. Doesn't Jan Myers sleep?
The latest excursion will be to the Montclair Art Museum on Wed. April 25. Our group will have a docent tour of Kay Walking Stick: An American Artist. This will be the first major retrospective of the renowned Native American Artist. Should be fascinating!
In addition there is space available (or a short waiting list) for the March 28, April 4 and April 18 trips. Details of those are in the March 19 Spotlight.

Slavery: A New Course
Kendal continues its excellent program of offering great course and great teachers.
The subject of slavery will be examined with special emphasis on the descendants of slaves on a remote island off the coast of Georgia.
It will be taught by Kendal's own Pulitzer Prize winner Bill McFeely.
The course will take place on four Fridays in June (6, 13, 20, 26) at 11:15 am in the Residents Association Office. It is limited to 15 people so early sign-up in the Activities Alcove is recommended.
Early Alert: Digital Device Workshop Sat. Apr. 7, 2-4 pm
Posters and sign-up sheets will be out a week before the event, but save the date now if you wish to get individual help with your digital device.
Residents Association Annual Appeal
Our Residents Association, a 501 c-3 organization, announced its annual appeal. Funds collected will go to support the many activities (movies, lectures, concerts, and more) that we enjoy here at Kendal. In addition, a portion of the funds collected go to help a number of our local organizations such as the Sleepy Hollow Fire Dept. and Ambulance Corp.
It's all worthwhile. Suggested tax deductible contribution this year is $200 per person, $400 per couple.
Please place your checks payable to the KoH Residents Association in the box at the front desk. Please write"Annual Appeal" on the bottom of the check.
Many thanks!
Recycling
One way to keep costs low at Kendal is to properly recycle paper and plastics.
Most important -- please return the green food take-out containers. Don't throw them away! Wash them out and return them to the Bistro.
If you have questions about what to recycle and what to put in the garbage, please contact Deb Wood. She'll get a recycling sheet to you that will answer all your questions.
