The Trips Committee announced a new trip scheduled for Wednesday, May 6th.
The Teatown Lake Reservation next door to us in Ossining will be the location. Our group will get a guided tour of Wildflower Island's more than 230 species of native and endangered wildflowers incluing lady's slippers, orchids, trillium and wild columbine. Teatown contains three beautiful lakes on its 1,000-acre nature preserve.
Jan Myers, the Trips Committee's Chair promises that the frigid weather of March and April will be long gone by May 16th. Sign up for the trip is in the Activities Alcove. She also advises that there are short waiting lists for the April 18th Katonah Museum of Art excursion and the May 9th Wave Hill (Bronx) trip.
Give & Take Table
The Give & Take Table once again will be offering some exciting pieces from the hidden space of residents' closets. In addition it gives residents the opportunity to clear out objects that they no longer need or want.
The Table sits outside the Health Services Office on the T-Level.
Articles will be available from April 2 to April 6.
Questions? Contact Bert Pepper or Peggy McLaughlin.
New Trip to Wave Hill
The ever-productive Trips Committee has scheduled a new outing for May 9. This one will be a docent tour of Wave Hill in the Bronx. Built as a country home in 1843 it has included Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and Arturo Toscanini as tenants.
Now owned by NYC it is now a public garden and cultural center. This 28 acre estate with its historic buildings and vistas is an exciting place to visit.
As usual, sign up in the Activities Alcove. Do it quickly as this trip will fill up very soon.
P.S. There is a short wait list for the April 18 visit to the Katonah Museum of Art.
Coffee With a Cop
The Coffee with a Cop event which was cancelled twice will now take place on Friday, April 20 at 10 am.
Residents will have a chance to meet with representatives of the Sleepy Hollow Police Department whose officers are responsible for the safety of Kendal.
The officers will be talking about their day-to-day challenges, something we'll all find very interesting.
The program is limited to 30 residents so you must sign up in the Activities Alcove.
Sorry, says Channel 1970 team!
The Channel 1970 team is very sorry that service on our internal TV Channel 1970 is suspended pending resolution of technical difficulties. The repairs should be completed early this week and the programming listed in Spotlight will hopefully be up and running.
Again, they extend their apologies.

Great Books Planning Group
The KoH Great Books Planning Group, with assistance of the Westchester Great Books Council, is swinging into action. The Great Books program is open to all residents. It discusses four books per year chosen by the Planning Group.
They are now preparing for the next discussions which will take place on May 16 and 17. The subject will be Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop.
All interested should contact Lois Seulowitz GBPG Chair.
Eyes for the Needy
Who would have guessed that a few brief notices and a collection box in the Activities Alcove would produce a major gift for people who need eyeglasses and cannot afford them.
I think all of us at Kendal should be proud that 1,000 pairs of glasses have been contributed thus far. It should make all contributors proud that some needy person is seeing better through your glasses.
Keep the contributions coming. They're needed!
