(Virtual) Navigating College Admissions Successfully and the Importance of Community Service
2021-10-27 19:00 - 20:00
Via Zoom. For Teens & Parents.

We are offering this Zoom presentation to help families understand how COVID-19 has changed the college admissions landscape and how it will affect Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen.
This recent college admissions cycle has turned out to be the most competitive to date. As most colleges go test-optional and increase their virtual outreach to high school students, a record number of candidates are applying. With record high numbers of applications come record low acceptance rates at many popular colleges and universities.
Admissions officers are giving greater consideration to extracurricular activities, since most students will have had a year or more of grades earned during remote/hybrid learning, which will carry less weight when applications are reviewed. With that in mind, we will discuss the importance of community service, how it can provide an opportunity for personal growth and an opportunity to showcase a student’s character, especially during these challenging times.
The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC. (www.standoutforcollege.com)
Please RSVP to ron@standoutforcollege.com. You will receive a private invitation with a Zoom link in reply.

What is the Oblong?
2021-11-07 15:00 - 16:00
Presented by Town Historian Maureen Koehl, in-person at the Library.
What or where exactly is The Oblong?

It includes land traded between the New York and Connecticut colonies beginning in the 18th century and finalized in the 20th century. What was it like to be traded back and forth between colonies?

2021-11-11 19:00 - 20:30
Don’t miss our area’s premiere showing of this new documentary film!

The introduction, spread, and management of invasive species is heavily influenced by the actions of citizens who live, work, and recreate on NY’s public and private lands and waterways. Education and outreach about invasive species increases awareness and knowledge, which are necessary precursors to behavior changes that could reduce risks throughout the State.

“Uninvited: The Spread of Invasive Species” is an engaging one-hour documentary which focuses on invasive species and highlights those that are threatening our environment and economy, while also showing innovative ways of combating these threats through the NYS Department of Conservation’s collaborative work with its partners. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Brent Boscarino, PhD, Coordinator, Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management.

Presented by the Lewisboro Land Trust, the Lewisboro Garden Club and the Lewisboro Library.
Due to Covid precautions, space will be limited to allow for social distancing and participants are required to wear masks. The event is free. Please register HERE.
