White Plains DPW Launches New Garbage & Recycling Collection App
The White Plains DPW has launched a new app to help keep White Plains residents informed about garbage and recycling collection. Called 'White Plains DPW @ Your Service,' this new app will provide residents with all of the same information they have been receiving for years in a clear, concise, easily accessible, and more personalized way.
Residents will be able to view the garbage and recycling collection schedules specific to their address. Residents will also be able to schedule pick-ups for larger, bulk items and find guidance on how to dispose of items not available for pick up. And if, like many of us, you often forget your pick up days, the app will let you set reminders.
White Plains DPW @ Your Service is available for free download on both the Apple App Store as well as the Google Play Store. Search: White Plains DPW.

| FEATURED EVENT |
Tuesday, June 19 from 5 pm - 9 pm
Court Street at Main Street
Approaching the longest day of the year, the White Plains BID and Doug Panero Presents an after-work concert with delicious food and drink, and two can't-miss touring bands. Free music, rain or shine; $5 wristband for ages 21+ to drink alcohol outside.
 Kat Wright
For Kat Wright and her stellar band it starts with Soul. Her wide range spans sultry, delicate and heartbreaking, to the powerful, gritty and funky. NPR once described Kat as "a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse." As she parlayed her regional fan base into a national audience, this alluring songstress takes her act to new heights with the rockin' By My Side, her 2016 debut release. Kat's band, by her side on June 19, is Shane Hardiman on the keys, Bob Wagner on guitar, Josh Weinstein on bass plus a three piece horn section and drums.
 The Rad Trads
Four lead vocalists, any one of whom with the chops to lead his own band, take turns with the killer grooves and punk-rock passion coursing through this music, burnished through world tours including opening for the likes of Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal and Lake Street Dive. The Rad Trads are Patrick Sargent (Saxophones); Michael Fatum (Trumpet); Alden Harris-McCoy (Guitar); "Big Red" Mike Harlen (Bass); John Fatum (Drums).

| BEFORE I DIE PROJECT |
 Five years ago, during the summer of 2013, the City of White Plains Mayor installed a well-known public art project in downtown White Plains known as "Before I Die..."
Before I Die is a global public art project that invites people to reflect on their lives and share their personal aspirations in public space. Mayor Roach said, "The project received an enthusiastic response when we first brought it here in 2013. We felt it was time to bring the project back and once again create a space where everyone could come together in a positive way, as well as showcase the vibrancy of our city and the strength of our community."
The City Department of Public Works created the temporary "wall" on which the phrase, "Before I Die I Want To..." is stenciled numerous times. The public is invited to take up a piece of chalk and complete the sentence in their own way, expressing their dreams, their goals and their positive thoughts. Participation is open to all. People throughout the world have actively and enthusiastically participated, helping to create numerous walls that are inspiring and heartfelt to read. So, as you stroll through the Plaza during your lunch hour, or after you get your latte, don't forget to stop at the Before I Die wall, add your own thoughts, and read those of others in our community.
Learn more about the Before I Die project.

White Plains History Roundtable
 The White Plains History Roundtable is an educational, participatory, and social event where attendees hear a presentation on a historical topic, examine materials from the White Plains Collection, and engage in discussion with each other. June's Roundtable will focus on LGBT History, in honor of Pride Month.
Come learn about the people and organizations that worked to secure rights and a safe place in the county for the LGBT community. They will specifically focus on The LOFT LGBT Community Center which was founded in White Plains in the 1980s. In addition to archival material from the White Plains Collection, they will have clips from Forward & Out, the LGBT affairs public access show, and individuals who are long-time LOFT members. From the Library of Congress: "LGBT Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in Manhattan. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally."
