Sunday Morning Adult Softball

Players are invited to join an adult softball game which has been played for decades. Players 16 and older, male or female, are asked to arrive at 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings at Crossway Field #2 in Scarsdale for games which start shortly thereafter following a brief warm up and determination of our “pick-up” teams. We finish no later than noon, which is when our field permit expires. Games are friendly but competitive. Season runs from Sunday, April 20 through October. Interested players should contact Jeff Rejan at jrejan@optonline.net or show up at the field.

As part of its Food Scrap Recycling program, Scarsdale is giving away FREE high quality compost to Scarsdale residents on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the Recycling Center, 110 Secor Road, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM – it’s first come, first served, so bring a pail, bucket, or other receptacle, and take home some compost! Prior events have been well attended, so plan to be there early.

The food scrap compost can be used in one’s vegetable garden, flower beds, or to enrich turf in place of chemical fertilizers.

Residents are strongly encouraged to join the Scarsdale Food Scrap Recycling Program – it’s easy and results in a meaningful reduction to the waste stream, which results in less trash incineration. On April 26, volunteers will be available to answer questions, help you get started, and food scrap recycling starter kits and rolls of compostable bags will be available for purchase.

The high-quality food scrap compost being given away in celebration of Earth Week is provided pursuant to the successful Village of Scarsdale residential Food Scrap Recycling program. Over 3.5 million pounds of food scraps have been recycled since the beginning of the program in January 2017!
For any questions about the April 26th compost giveaway, food scrap recycling or to sign up for the food scrap recycling program, please email composting@scarsdale.gov.

"Character is the fingerprint of your soul" - Frank Sonnenberg.

Please join Nancy Zachary in the Scott Room of Scarsdale Library on Wednesday May 21, 2025 at 2 pm to discuss Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder.

"Noted long-form journalist Kidder rides along as clinicians try to serve one of Boston’s most marginalized populations.

"The term rough sleeper is not used much in American English. It’s a borrowing from the British way of describing the people who sleep where sleep is not intended: doorways, sidewalks, culverts, etc. Kidder’s hero, Dr. James Joseph O’Connell, has spent decades with volunteer and paid workers driving in a medicine- and supply-stuffed van to the places where this population gathers. ... O’Connell, now well past retirement age, is the tutelary angel of the piece, but many lesser heroes work around the clock to save lives and treat the downtrodden with dignity. The job is thankless and endless.
