Eat Your Hearts Out, Swallows
The swallows that return to Capistrano have nothin’ on the snow geese of South Dakota. A migratory bird, the snow goose likes to return north once winter is making more-southern climes uncomfortable. March 11, Beverly Aisenbrey just happened to be at Lake Byron in South Dakota near the Aisenbrey’s hometown when the snow geese landed—100,000 strong—for a rest in their travels.
To get a real idea of how many there were, click on the video below:

What’s New at the Neuberger?
Intrepid Kendalites recently traveled to Purchase, NY, to visit the exhibitions at The Neuberger Museum.
And they had a special docent: our own Birgitta Hockstader, who provided background and consideration of the art and the arts.

They Fixed It!
On March 29, Amanda Slattery took her broken cheese knife, glass napkin ring, and a baseball trophy to The Rivertowns Repair Cafe, held that day at the Sleepy Hollow Senior Center. There she met Lee and Tom, who mended all three “with a smile” and for a very low price: free!

The Rivertowns Repair Cafe is part of an intervillage community effort known as the “The Rivertowns Repair Cafe” organized in our area by volunteers from Hastings, Dobbs Ferry Irvington, Tarrytown, and Sleepy Hollow. Their mission is not only to fix things—which then don’t have to be tossed and replaced by new things—but also to show people “how to” so maybe the next time they can do it themselves.
Repair Cafe is a part of a grassroots movement that has spread around the globe. It aims to reduce waste, overconsumption, and planned obsolescence. It hopes to reignite the spirit of “do-it-together” and “do-it-yourself.”
