Greenburgh Insider: Elmsford Little League Seniors are NYS champions----to be honored at next Town Board meeting.

..and yesterday's Celebrate Greenburgh event had a record turnout.

Some great news from the Elmsford Little League.  The seniors won the New York State Division Championship, defeating Castle Hill Little League 10-0. The game was played at Dix Hills on Long Island. In recent week the League won the District 20 and Section 3 North Championships leading up to this tournament. The League includes Leaguer's between the ages of 14-15 years. Although the Little League is named for Elmsford many of the participants reside in neighborhoods that include unincorporated Greenburgh, Hartsdale, 10603 and 10607 zip codes, Irvington and Edgemont.  The team will be going to the Little League tournament in Bangor Maine.  I have invited the Champions to the next Greenburgh Town Board meeting on Wednesday July  26 at 7:30 PM to be honored.

YESTERDAY'S CELEBRATE GREENBURGH DAY HAD A RECORD TURNOUT

Yesterday's Celebrate Greenburgh at AF Veteran Town Park  had a total count of 1736 paid customers.  Pre Covid numbers in 2019, the head count was 1666. Last year we had only 1206.. Prior to yesterday’s event due to weather we were having low general swimming participation and it was very encouraging to see the community come out and have a fun day in the park according to Commissioner Gerry Byrne.

A big thank you to town staff for doing an incredible job - organizing Celebrate Greenburgh, making the day very fun and enjoyable for families and for the fantastic firework show which was enjoyed by many.

Greenburgh Insider: Celebrate Greenburgh 7/15/23 - FIREWORKS.

Come out and dunk Paul Feiner in the dunk tank.

It's impossible to please everyone when you are an elected official.

This is part of an annual fundraiser for the Greenburgh swim team. 

Supervisor Paul Feiner has been dunked by some of his critics for a number of years. When throwing the ball at the dunk tank  -feel free to announce your grievances.

In addition to dunking the Supervisor - Paul Feiner and other town officials and Board members will be at the pool during the day to hear your concerns.

There are lots of fun activities during Celebrate Greenburgh for your entire family to enjoy.

Greenburgh Insider: An inspiring story of a 30 year old stroke victim who overcame a coma and is on the road to recovery.

Would like to share other stories about individuals who overcame critical illnesses with residents who are stressed out, worried and feeling hopeless when a family member or friend is diagnosed with a major medical illness. Have hope. Never give up

 I  am planning to compile a list of inspiring stories about people who overcame serious medical problems that I can share with residents who are stressed out, worried and feeling hopelesss  when a family member or close friend is critically ill.  The goal: to encourage them to have hope and to never give up. Please e mail me examples at pfeiner@greenburghny.com that can be shared.

The Gift: An inspiring story about a 30 year old woman who had a hemorrhagic stroke, was in a coma and survived –the power of presence, family support and strength

 

 When one has a beloved friend or relative who has become crticially ill, or is suffering from a dehabilitating  medical conditon, it's easy to get discouraged. Even so, it can help to know there are heartwarming stories about people who have overcome the odds even when their prognosis was bleak. 

 

Caryn Hirshleifer and her daughter Jennifer have written a very inspiring book about an experience that should give hope to those who need it. Days before her 31st birthday, Jenn unexpecttedley suffered a massive bleed in her brain, became comatose for weeks and was clinging to life . Her family and loved ones were forced to grapple with Jenn's potential sudden death.  A miracle happened: Jenn survived and began a painstaking slow and uneven  road to recovery. She and her mom wrote "The Gift" in which they and her other loved ones, including Jenn's boyfriend, highlight their experiences and how they helped her to work to  overcome her difficulties. They are now seeking an  agent in order to  have the book published. 

 

If you know anyone who is in  a critical or dehabilitating  condition, please encourage their families to listen to this interview at the link below  on You Tube.
