“In the changing landscape of community media, I am pleased to salute the 17th anniversary of Scarsdale10583, the online source for local news and information in the Village of Scardsale. Joanne Wallenstein, an advertising and marketing professional with a background in magazines and internet experience is the driving force for this team that includes Wendy MacMillan. They are committed Scarsdale volunteers for organizations like the PTA’S, the League of Women Voters and other community groups. This gives them the grassroots contact and the feel for what’s happening every day that they report on every day. And they report on what’s happening by being there in person, at event after event. The publication is truly local, high school sports stories, local meetings, recreational activities, neighborhood associations, and their activities. We recognize the hard work of Joanne and her colleagues, and from the floor of the House of Representatives, we salute this terrific effort to bring the whole of the community together. “
