Scarsdale Bowl Committee Seeks Recommendations

The 2013 Scarsdale Bowl Committee will begin its work in early December to select the 2013 recipient of the Scarsdale Bowl. The Scarsdale Bowl, under the sponsorship of the Scarsdale Foundation, has been awarded annually since 1943 to an individual, or in rare instances, to a husband and wife, who has given "unselfishly of his/her time, energy and effort to the civic welfare of the community." The founding donors of the Bowl believed that "many who serve generously and voluntarily, without office, honor or publicity, are those deserving of having their names permanently inscribed on the Scarsdale Bowl."

Jane Veron will serve as chair of this year's Scarsdale Bowl Committee. The members of the committee serve staggered two-year terms. The newly appointed Class of 2013 includes Scott Altabet, Bart Hamlin, Pam Rubin, Adie Shore, Carolyn Stevens, and Jeff Watiker. The continuing Class of 2012 includes Linda Chayes, Merrell Clark, Amy Cooper, Alice Herman, Howard Nadel, Jim O'Connor, and Sara Werder. Evelyn Stock, Scarsdale Foundation trustee, will serve on the committee as the liaison, and Deborah Pekarek will serve as secretary/treasurer. Richard Toder, president of the Scarsdale Foundation, is an ex-officio, non-voting member.

The Scarsdale Bowl will be awarded at a dinner on Wednesday, April 17, 2013, at Lake Isle Country Club. The ceremony will pay tribute to the 2013 honoree and to the spirit of volunteerism, central to the civic life of the Scarsdale community.

The Bowl Committee enthusiastically welcomes community input. It will hold its first meeting December 2, 2012, and requests that residents contact any member of the committee with suggestions of potential recipients or email Jane Veron at: jevatf@aol.com. If you have any questions, please contact Jane Veron at 472-2933.
