Active Aging Week 2014 September 21 - 27 

Let the Adventure Begin 

Salute to Seniors 


Led by the International Council on Aging, Active Aging Week is an observance celebrating adults ages 50 and older as fully participating members of society and promotes the benefits of leading an active, healthier lifestyle. 

Bronxville's celebration of Active Aging Week is the second annual Salute to Seniors to be held on Saturday, September 27.  This day long celebration of our older neighbors is co-sponsored by the Senior Citizens Council and Gramatan Village with support from New York Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital and the Bronxville Rotary.   The festivities will begin at 10 AM on the lawn of the Bronxville High School.  Informational tables will be along Pondfield Road and many local businesses will be offering discounts and specials for seniors. 
After shopping and dining in the village, join us at The Bronxville Library at 2 PM for a performance by Elvis Tribute artist, Dino Bravo.

Madeline in New York

The Art of Ludwig Bemelmans

 

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Madeline's  publication, Gramatan Village members enjoyed an exhibition of 90 original artworks by Madeline's creator, Ludwig Bemelmans at The New York Historical Society. 

In addition to artwork from all 6 Madeline books, the exhibit featured Bemelmans' drawings of the old Ritz Hotel in New York, murals from a rediscovered Paris bistro, panels from the Onassis yacht, and a cache of fabrics based on an early picture book.
