Five Things You Need to Know Today: Fashion Fundraisers, Pastries for Pets and an Early April Fools Day Joke
Today, baked goods will raise money for furry friends in need, Lord & Taylor purchases will benefit charity and the Westchester region is expected to receive an inch of snow.
1. The Scarsdale Republican Town Committee will be holding its Third Annual Spring Fundraiser tonight at 7 p.m. Cocktails, dinner and a speech from Chairman Bob Cohen are all on the agenda for the evening’s festivities. The Fundraiser will be held at the Fox Meadow Tennis Club on 14 Wayside Road, and the suggested donation is $100. Pay online at http://scarsdalegop.org. For questions, call (914) 472-4645 or email toni.bowyer@gmail.com.
2. “The Race to Nowhere, ” a documentary by director Vicki Abeles that explores the plight of burnt-out students, educators and parents across the country, is being screened tonight by the Jewish Community Center on the Hudson. The movie begins at 7:30 p.m. Watch a preview and register for the event by visiting http://www.jcconthehudson.com .
3. Ticket sales are still ongoing for Lord & Taylor’s Do Good fundraiser. Buy a $5 in stores at any register or online and receive a Bonus 20 percent Savings Coupon for one item, plus a 15 percent Savings Pass to use on anything store-wide, with the exception of cosmetics and fragrances. All ticket proceeds will go to local non-profit groups. Stop by the Lord & Taylor at 750 White Plains Road to participate – a good discounted sweater can help warm up an otherwise chilly day.
