RECOGNIZING EDGEMONT COMMUNITY COUNCIL
(Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the exceptional energy
and effort of the Edgemont Community Council, an organization of over
225 families in the Edgemont section of the town of Greenburgh. It
brings together that community in ways that strengthen involvement and
a host of different activities of interaction.
The council covers the area of 8,500 residents and is comprised of a
23-member board led by its president, Dylan Pyne, and ably assisted by
other local leaders, including Paul Wooten, Eliana Weissman, Sharon
Bench, Sharyn Lewis, and Anshu Kalhan, among many others.
The council has an extensive annual schedule of events with parades,
things that people join together from Lunar New Year celebration,
Halloween, holiday tree lighting and Menorah lighting, often activities
around Crane's Pond in Edgemont.
The group makes use of the Greenburgh Nature Center, Edgemont High
School, and other schools as sites for their ongoing programs.
Substantively, the council advocates for resident issues in the town
and county government and has a close working relationship with elected
officials and decisionmakers.
From the floor of the House of Representatives, I salute the Edgemont
Community Council and the Edgemont neighborhood for their good work.
