This evening I attended the Scarsdale Foundation Bowl Dinner. The honorees were superstar volunteer Andrew Sereysky and the Scarsdale Adult School, of which I am a board member. Bowl winner Sereysky has been serving on various committees and associations ever since moving to the ’Dale in 1994. The number of roles he has filled seems infinite, from being active on the Cable Television Communication for years to serving as a key player in the Greenacres Neighborhood Association.

The 87-year-old Adult School is a force in the community as well: It offers more than 1,000 fascinating classes each year. In fact, there’s one featured every week in the Insider’s “Scarsdale Adult School Spotlight.” Whether you like to take walking tours of museums, learn to make exquisite needlework crafts, or discuss current events, there’s a course for you. And all adults are welcome, not just Scarsdale residents, meaning the entertainment and enlightenment SAS offers can be accessed across the country.

What better themes to an evening than loving and learning? They’re two great concepts to integrate into your life as a resident of our town. Have you volunteered in Scarsdale? There are so many ways to do it: Run for a position on the School Board Nominating Committee this year, for instance, or take on some tasks for your school’s PTA. As for the learning part, there’s the SAS of course, plus interesting events at the library, the Weinberg Nature Center, and so many other hubs.

Spring is the perfect time to explore and expand your world, while helping to make our world an even better place. Try it.

Yours in Scarsdale love,
