Thursdays from 9:00am-11:00amJune 25 to July 30, 2026 (6 weeks)<a href="https://learn.slc.edu/courses/lifelong-learning-early-20th-century-us-womens-literature-as-history" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">learn.slc.edu/courses/lifelong-learning-early-20th-century-us-womens-literature-as-history</a>These six novels – one for every week – will introduce you not only to six remarkable women writers from the first half of the 20th century, but also to the worlds that they illustrate through a window to their time.
While reading the novels is not required, it is very much recommended. A lecture establishing the history embedded in the novels and a background look at the authors who wrote them will be followed by discussion.
At the end of each lecture, Lyde will recommend three other novels, linked to the themes of that week.We will read and consider:
Kate Chopin’s The Awakening (yes, 1899, but arguably precocious)Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905)Willa Cather’s My Antonia (1918)Nella Larsen’s two novellas Quicksand and Passing (1928, 1929)Josephine Johnson’s Now in November (1934)Carson McCuller’s The Member of the Wedding (1943)

Yonkers, NY — April 28, 2026 — Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano and members of the Revolutionary Yonkers 250 (RY250) Committee announced the launch of the Red, White &amp; Blue Across Yonkers, a citywide initiative commemorating America’s 250th birthday and highlighting Yonkers’ historic role in the nation’s story.
“This year offers Yonkers a powerful opportunity to reflect on our history, celebrate our diversity, and come together in pride for the city we call home,” said Mayor Spano. “As we honor America’s 250th anniversary, we also recognize how far we have come as a community and celebrate the remarkable accomplishments that continue to shape the City of Yonkers. Red, White &amp; Blue Across Yonkers will bring our community together in meaningful and memorable ways as we commemorate this milestone year.”
The months‑long City celebration will feature patriotic displays, cultural programming, and community events designed to honor the past while inspiring civic pride across the city. Buildings, corridors, and historic sites throughout Yonkers also will be illuminated and decorated in red, white, and blue as a unifying visual tribute to the nation’s semiquincentennial.

What Is Your Home Really Worth Right Now?

CENTURY 21 Elite Realty

The real estate market is not pricing homes one way right now - it’s being priced three different ways. Some homes are listed below market to create bidding wars and sell far over asking. Some are priced at market value and move depending on timing and demand. Others are overpriced and sit with no activity. That’s why online estimates and list prices alone can be misleading. If you're thinking about selling, the real question isn’t just “what is my home worth?” It’s: what is the right pricing strategy to maximize your outcome? Get a real evaluation based on current market behavior - not just an algorithm. 📍 Serving Westchester, Rockland &amp; Bergen County
