The 2011 Scarsdale Bowl Committee will begin its work in early December to select the 2011 recipient. 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.” Committee members serve staggered two-year terms. The newly appointed class of 2011 includes Jane Buck, Marc Carter, Malula Gonzalez, Liz Gruber, Anne Moretti, Bill Natbony, and Robert November. Members of the continuing Class of 2010 are Matt Callahan, Jonathan Drescher, Joyce Hirsch, Carolyn Mehta, Laurence Mintzer, and Tara Tyberg. Seth Ross, a Scarsdale Foundation trustee, will serve as liaison.
As previously announced, Rita Golden has been appointed as this year’s chairman, and Nancy Michaels will serve as secretary/treasurer. Jackie Irwin, president of the Scarsdale Foundation, is an ex-officio, non-voting member.
The Scarsdale Bowl will be awarded at a dinner on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at Lake Isle Country Club. The ceremony will pay tribute to the 2011 honoree and to the spirit of volunteerism, central to the civic life of Scarsdale, and the entire community is invited to attend the celebration. The Bowl Committee enthusiastically welcomes community input. It will hold its first meeting December 12th and requests that residents contact any member of the committee with suggestions of potential recipients. If you have any questions, please call Rita Golden at 723-3969.
