Five Things You Need to Know Today: A Brooke Hayward Q&A, Battling Blood Cancer and Exploring the Afterlife
So it's a rainy Monday. Here are some activities that will inspire you to slip on your galoshes and get out of your house instead of curling up into a ball in front of the TV.
- You can raise money for blood cancer while getting your own blood pumping as well through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team in Training. Tonight, the Team in Training is holding an informational meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Scarsdale Public Library. Learn how the program’s endurance training program can get you in shape for half-marathons, marathons, triathlons and hiking adventure— and make a difference in the lives of leukemia and lymphoma patients – by visiting the Society’s website, calling (914) 821-8363 or emailing mo.lyons@lls.org.
- What happens after you die? Rabbi Jonathan Blake will explore Judaism's conception of death and the afterlife in the second part of a five series lecture titled "Death, Immortality and Afterlife in Judaism" tonight from 7:15-9:15 p.m. at Westchester Reform Temple. Explore texts and traditions with the Rabbi as you reexamine your faith and hopefully find deeper comfort, meaning and understanding in its message.
- Truman Capote once called Brooke Hayward’s 1977 memoir “Haywire” one of the “most extraordinary personal memoirs” he’d ever read. Tonight at 7:30 p.m., Hayward – the daughter of elite Hollywood couple Margaret Sullavan and Leland Hayward – will participate in a Q&A session at the Jacob Burns film festival along with longtime friend and Academy Award-nominated director Buck Henry. Pick up your very own copy of the recently-reissued “Haywire” before taking in a screening of the Margaret Sullavan film “The Shop Around the Corner.” Tickets are $20 for members and $30 for non-members. Visit the Center’s website for more information.
- 4. SoulCycle, the indoor biking mecca that’s taken both Manhattan and Scarsdale by storm, is now offering free community rides every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. Get in shape for summer and reserve a bike by calling the Scarsdale studio every Monday beginning at 1 p.m. at (914) 713-1200.
