Bicycle Sunday is celebrating their 40th anniversary this Sunday. A ceremony, led by David Wilson will take place at the County Center. I will be participating. 40 years ago I was chair of the Task Force for Bikeways in Westchester which successfully pushed for the first bikeway in Westchester (Bronx River Parkway). And, in 1974 former County Executive Al Del Bello appointed me to his Bikeway Task Force which recommended the closing of the parkway on Sundays for cyclists.

SATURDAY...CITIZENS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TRAINING

The Governors office asked me to invite citizens to a Citizens Emergency Preparedness Training event this Saturday September 27th from 10 AM at Purchase College. The Governor is sponsoring an event to train the citizens of New York State to be better prepared in the event of a natural or man-made disaster as part of the Citizen Preparedness Corps. They will be holding a training this Saturday the 27th at 10:00 AM at Purchase College in the Recital Hall of the Conservatory of Music. They will have the New York National Guard, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, State Fire and State Police conduct the training, at the end of which all participants will receive a emergency “go bag” filled with emergency supplies (1 per household).
