Over 60 league members and guests, including many state and local representatives such as U.S. Representative Eliot Engel, NY State Senator and Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, NY State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, Ben Boykin, Chairman of the Board Of the Westchester County Legislators; County Executive George Latimer, Scarsdale Mayor Dan Hochvert, and Scarsdale Trustees Justin Arest, Carl Finger, Seth Ross and Jane Veron attended the event.
It was a lovely and inspirational evening as everyone mingled and chatted with old and new friends. Guests learned about many new initiatives taking place at the state level such as Election Law, Campaign Finance and Healthcare reforms, all issues for which the League of Women Voters has taken positions of support. It was interesting and enjoyable to spend a few hours listening to and debating educated view points on a range of topical issues without a partisan bent to the conversations. All with great food, drink and good cheer!
