Some names in travel are more than just modes of transportation – they end up becoming legends.
This talk explores how three extraordinary vehicles – The Orient Express, RMS Queen Mary, and Concorde – rose to become enduring symbols of innovation and adventure, as well as redefining what it meant to journey in style.​ Through a closer look at their groundbreaking design and technology, the imagination that shaped their creation, and the passengers and crew who brought them to life, we’ll travel back in time to discover how these iconic experiences transformed the way the world moves and how they continue to inspire us today.
Presented by Lucy Jane Santos.

Culture, cuisine, and comedy came together to form an intricate network of hotels, bungalow colonies, and resorts throughout New York’s Catskill Mountains. With a strong Jewish lineage, the Borscht Belt came to be known as a distinctly American story—one represented by a diverse clientele that journeyed to the mountains in search of fellowship, basking under the warmth of the summer sun. Now, with the remaining hotel structures vanishing one by one, it is through these remaining artifacts, such as matchbooks, silverware, menus, and even architectural details, that this story can be shared. The lecture employs these relics to share with visitors the complete and complicated story of the Borscht Belt—one that extends before the Civil War and reveals the many industries, as well as individuals, that made it successful.
Presented live and in-person by <a href="https://alexprizgintas.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Alex Prizgintas</a>.
A&nbsp;historian, musician, and lecturer who focuses on the neglected history of the Catskills and Hudson Valley region, Alex Prizgintas serves as president of the Woodbury Historical Society in Orange County, New York, and has been published in the&nbsp;Hudson River Valley Review&nbsp;and the&nbsp;New York Archives Magazine. A preservationist, Alex stewards the&nbsp;<a href="https://alexprizgintas.com/borscht-belt-tourism-history" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Richard L. Benjamin Collection of Borscht Belt Tourism History</a>, which contains hundreds of documents, postcards, and ephemera from the Borscht Belt era. Many of these items will be brought to the lecture for attendees to view live.
Free and open to all.

Hi Westchester families &mdash; Sarah Bonanno here. Originally from Pleasantville, Hackley alum, and now a CUNY PhD student in English, currently teaching college writing at Brooklyn College. I run <a href="bonannoworkshop.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Bonanno Writing Workshop</a>, a freelance writing tutoring practice for high school and college students. I'm currently working with a Pleasantville HS senior on academic writing and college prep, and figured I'd reintroduce myself more broadly as summer prep season approaches. 
 I made a free worksheet for the most common writing problem I see: a thesis that's true but too vague to argue. It walks through three tests (specific / contestable / significant) and the four traps thesis statements usually fall into.

<a href="bonannoworkshop.com/worksheet" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"></a> If your junior or senior is already mid-draft and stuck &mdash; or heading into college essay season this summer &mdash; I'm taking on a few new students. Sessions over Zoom or in person when I'm in Westchester. 
Happy to answer questions in the comments or via the website.
