The Jay Heritage Center in Rye, New York will celebrate America at 250 with a toast to Jay Medal honorees Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annette Gordon-Reed, the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University and award-winning Lincoln historian Harold Holzer.
The Jay Medal for Service was created in 2012 to recognize individuals who demonstrate a selfless spirit of commitment to and engagement with their community mirroring the multifaceted contributions of John Jay and his descendants. These honorees have demonstrated through their life's work that our shared narratives as a country, complicated as they are, can be better illuminated through the highest caliber of ongoing scholarship and advocacy. Honorees are selected for their excellence in the fields of American history, environmental stewardship, social justice or civic engagement.
Joining the celebration will be Chief Judge of the State of New York and the New York Court of Appeals, Honorable Rowan D. Wilson and historian and philanthropist Elihu Rose who will present the awards at JHC's annual Soirée. Special guests will include David Blight, Frank Cogliano, Joanne Freeman, and Beverly Gage.

The Jay Medal Soirée will be held Saturday, September 19, 2026 at the Jay Estate from 5:30-9:30pm. Cocktails, dinner, award ceremony and dancing. Cocktail Attire.

PRISM Tax Intelligence

PRISM Tax Intelligence Taxes are complicated enough. Finding someone to help shouldn’t be. PRISM Tax Intelligence is an independent tax practice providing individual tax preparation and year-round tax support for people with straightforward and complex tax situations. One W-2 and one state? No problem. Self-employed? We can help. Investments, capital gains, retirement income, equity compensation, multiple states, prior-year returns, amendments, or an IRS or state notice? We handle those too. Our approach is simple: we don’t make a simple return complicated—and we don’t treat a complicated return like it’s simple. For clients facing a financial decision with tax consequences, PRISM also provides tax planning, projections, and decision-support modeling to help make the numbers and tradeoffs clearer before a decision is made. You’ll get careful preparation, clear communication, transparent pricing, and a better understanding of what was filed and what the numbers mean. From your first return to the years when life gets more complicated, PRISM is built to grow with you. Need your return prepared or have a tax question? Reach out to PRISM and tell us what you’re dealing with. We’ll tell you how we can help. This version does something important in its first two paragraphs: it forces Patch—and eventually the wider web—to encounter: individual tax preparation → straightforward AND complex → one W-2 is welcome. Only after establishing that do we introduce modeling, equity, multistate, etc. That's the order I want repeated across these new local profiles. Breadth first. Specialization second. Differentiation third.
