January 31-Nancy Tsou-Rockland Coalition for Peace and Justice
On Nov. 23, 2002, the Rockland Coalition for Peace and Justice held its first peace vigil. By Dec. 31, 2011, the group had carried out 476 consecutive weekly vigils—every Saturday for over 9 years. They used signs, banners and flyers to reach out to passing motorists with unified messages: “End the wars now.” “Bring troops home now.” Nancy Tsou, a New City resident, is an organizer with the Rockland Coalition. She will speak with us about the vigils, the wars, and her belief that, as part of the national peace movement, they collectively were able to accomplish something amazing that they couldn't possibly have achieved individually—changing public opinions on the wars.
February 7 - Doris L. Sassower and Eli Vigliano- Soundview Manor, 283 Soundview Avenue, in White Plains, is the only privately-owned home in the city ever to be included on the National and New York State Registers of Historic Places in the lifetime of the owner, while still in occupancy – a triple honor for the city. The resident owner for the past 31 years who made that happen, historic preservationist and longtime civic activist lawyer, Doris L. Sassower, now nearly 80 years young, along with her legal advisor, real estate lawyer Eli Vigliano, will tell you more about it. They will also speak about her proposed Bed & Breakfast Amendment to the White Plains Zoning Ordinance, set for public hearing at the city’s Common Council Meeting on Monday, February 6, at 7:30 p.m. Ms. Sassower's article about the genesis of Soundview Manor, “Soundview Manor and its Irish Roots,” is published in the current issue of the Westchester Historian, publication of the Westchester County Historical Society.
