Spot a Stroke, Save a Life: What Everyone Needs to Know
2025-05-07 19:00 - 20:00
Do you know how to spot the signs of a stroke and what to do next?
Stroke is a leading cause of death for Americans and a major contributor to serious long-term disability. But here’s the hopeful part: according to the American Stroke Association, up to 80% of strokes are preventable, and immediate action can make the difference between full recovery and lasting damage. A stroke doesn’t have to be a life sentence – when recognized quickly, a full recovery is possible. Every second counts.
Join Dr. David Zuckerberg, Medical Director of the Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps (LVAC), Vista Fire Department, and the Pound Ridge Ambulance Corps, for an essential, eye-opening workshop on stroke awareness.
You’ll learn:

The different types of strokes, and why they matter
The early warning signs that should never be ignored
How quick action by bystanders can save lives and dramatically improve outcomes

Bring your questions! There will be plenty of time for Q&A with Dr. Zuckerberg, who brings over 30 years of experience in emergency medicine at Westchester Medical Center and Northern Westchester Hospital.
This event is part of an ongoing community health workshop series presented in partnership with the Lewisboro Library and LVAC. It’s free, open to the public, and could help you save a life – maybe even your own.
Don’t miss it. Someone’s recovery could depend on you.

(Virtual) Creating a Compelling College Application this Summer
2025-05-21 19:00 - 20:00
Via Zoom.
This program is to help high school juniors and their parents understand how to use the upcoming summer productively to create a compelling college application.
We will cover the college application process including current admissions trends, writing the personal statement essay and supplemental essays, teacher recommendations and how students can position themselves to increase their chances for admission. Hear about how a student’s ability to express their insights, experiences and personal growth through their application essays are more important than ever before.
We will discuss application strategies including the advantages and disadvantages of early decision, early action and regular decision. We’ll review what factors students should consider in deciding whether or not to submit their standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) for test-optional colleges and universities, and the different ways that students can be admitted to a particular school.
Learn about the holistic admissions review process, what admissions officers consider important when they review applicants, and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for admission. We will also discuss the importance of community service, how it can provide an opportunity for personal growth and an opportunity to showcase a student’s character. Admissions officers place great emphasis on a student’s character and how the student has been able to give back and help others.
Register today to take part in this detailed and strategic overview of what students should focus on to make their college applications compelling.
The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC. (www.standoutforcollege.com)
