New Castle Diversity & Inclusion Committee to Host First Event

A multi-cultural community holiday celebration and family fun for all ages will take place this Sunday, December 10th from 1:30-3:00PM at the Chappaqua Library Theater. There will be prizes for all, and fun games and festive food associated with the holidays of the season including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Divali.

A special highlight will be the announcement of the winner of the New Castle Diversity & Inclusion Committee’s Art/Logo contest. Entries were submitted this summer and the winner will be announced for the first time at the holiday event this Sunday. The winning submission will now become the official logo for the Committee. This entry and others will be on display during the event.

The first place winner will receive gift certificates from Scattered Books and HipKids boutique. All winners will receive a certificate for an ice cream cone at Hall of Scoops.

The New Castle Diversity & Inclusion Committee was launched last spring. Its mission is to create a culture of inclusion, tolerance and acceptance for community members and friends of the Town of New Castle -- made up of people of diverse backgrounds, including, but not limited to race, age, income, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation and a range of political affiliations. Our strategies and efforts will be nonpartisan and solely focused on promoting this message of inclusion via educational, cultural and community-wide events, programs and collaterals for children and adults of all ages and backgrounds.
