From the library and Community Center: We are in search of volunteers, both adults and teens, who would be able and willing to man a booth/game at our annual School's Out party for children Thursday, June 25. We need the help from 3:15-5:15 p.m. Contact Amy Kaplan at agkaplan@gmail.com or 914-941-7072 with any questions or to help out.

Finally, we wanted to alert you that there may be a scam afoot. We recently were notified telephone calls are being received especially at night that the village will be shutting off water service if residents did not immediately pay their outstanding bills. Please be advised that, like other governmental agencies, our communications to you regarding taxes or water bills is in writing. Please be vigilant -- protect your own identity. If this happens to you, immediately report it to the police at 914-941-2130 and to me at pzegarelli@briarcliffmanor.org.
