Scarsdale Bowl Committee Seeks Recommendations for Bowl Recipient

The 2014 Scarsdale Bowl Committee will begin its work in early December to select the 2014 recipient of the 2014 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 serve generously and voluntarily, without office, honor or publicity, are those deserving of having their names permanently inscribed on the Scarsdale Bowl."

David Brodsky will serve as chair of this year's Scarsdale Bowl Committee. The members serve staggered two-terms. The newly-appointed Class of 2014 includes Nan Berke, Marc Greenwald, Michelle Lichtenberg, Lisa Messinger, Tom Souther, Geetha Subbakrishna, Richard Wingate, and, filling a vacancy from the class of 2013, Anne Lyons. The continuing Class of 2013 includes Scott Altabet, Bart Hamlin, Pam Rubin, Carolyn Stevens, and Jeff Watiker. 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 9, 2014, at The Fountainhead, in New Rochelle, NY. The ceremony will pay tribute to the 2014 honoree and to the spirit of volunteerism, central to the civic life of the Scarsdale community.

The Bowl Committee enthusiastically welcomes community input on proposed nominees. It will hold its first meeting on December 8, 2013, and requests that residents contact any member of the committee with suggestions of potential recipients.
