Cozy up to some amazing furniture deals, March 7 & 8
Think of where you’re sitting right now—is your back aching? Are your legs stiff? Are you comfortable or just pretending to be? You might be in need of a new sofa (or chair or bed.) If that’s the case, you’re in luck because Willow Furniture & Design’s warehouse sale is on March 7 & 8 in Brewster. With up to 80 percent off on sofas, recliners, beds, dining tables and more, even our furry friends want in (see our video on social to get that reference). Hours are 10 a.m.-8 p.m., and delivery is available.
Get a peek inside your neighbor’s homes, March 23
Ever driven past a house and wondered what it looks like inside? Us too. Here’s your chance. On March 23, you can hop on Histoury’s bus and go inside several mid-century modern homes in Armonk, Chappaqua and Briarcliff Manor. Their architectural history & preservation guides will explain the mid-century style of architecture and share some of the stories behind each historic home. Don’t wait too long to sign up; their bus fills up fast. If this is your kind of tour, we recommend signing up (like right now).
Egg prices are up, but giving back is priceless, April 24
Attention chicken owners! The Mount Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry is looking for egg donations to help families struggling with food insecurity. And with all food prices soaring/more families struggling, your financial donations can make a big difference. Here’s your chance to give back and enjoy a nice evening with your friends at a beautiful Katonah home. On April 24, the Pantry will host its second Community Table event, and you (plus 199 of your closest friends) are invited. Join us, and everyone else, for a night of elegance, inspiration and helping our community.
Savor, sip, and support, April 3
Imagine indulging in incredible dishes from top chefs and restaurants paired with fine wine and craft beverages—all while supporting a worthy cause. Now stop imagining and make it happen at Feeding Westchester’s premier fundraising event, An Evening of Good Taste, on April 3 at 7 p.m. Join fellow food lovers, community leaders and Feeding Westchester supporters for a night of great bites and giving back. There’s even a silent auction with exclusive items and experiences; proceeds will help provide healthy, nutritious food to our neighbors facing hunger.
Dress in white, sparkle with hope, May 8
The sounds of beach waves and live music paired with delicious food while supporting programs & services for victims & survivors of domestic violence—is there any better way to spend an evening? No? We didn’t think so. On May 8, Hope’s Door will host their annual Gala of Hope at the Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club, 6-10 p.m. This year’s theme calls for everyone to dress in their finest white attire, illuminating the night in white (so don’t be the odd one out). Join us for an unforgettable night that supports a very worthy cause.
