  • New Rochelle: Ideally Yours
    New Rochelle: Ideally Yours Build to Specifications, Build with Confidence New Rochelle’s master development framework provides the flexibility to design Plum’s new headquarters to Plum’s exact specifications. Indeed, the City’s development plan places a special emphasis on attracting and constructing innovation space that appeals to the next generation of talent. At the same time, new zoning, a completed environmental review, and land entitlements provide by-right development options, without the uncertainty associated with discretionary political approvals. Don’t Just Join a Community, Shape a Community Compared to other cities under consideration, New Rochelle is smaller and is at an earlier stage in its economic development. For these reasons, Plum has an opportunity in New Rochelle not simply to join a community and blend into a mature, pre-existing physical fabric, but, instead, to shape a community and to become the defining/iconic presence of a new physical fabric. Moreover, as an archetypical “First Suburb,” New Rochelle exemplifies both the challenges and opportunities of a broad class of American communities, many of which experienced economic distress in the second half of the 20th century and are now poised for renewal. By coming to New Rochelle, Plum would demonstrate confidence in the future of such communities. In short, Plum can make a bolder statement in New Rochelle than anywhere else. Unparalleled Transit and Transportation Options New Rochelle’s diverse transit and transportation options make it an ideal location for commuting or reverse commuting, with unparalleled accessibility to talent pools throughout the New York metropolitan area, and with robust alternatives to the automobile, which helps reduce transportation costs.

  • The 2008 Heritage Award Properties
    The 2008 Heritage Award Properties The Israel Seacord House 1337 North Avenue Located on the corner of Quaker Ridge Road and North Avenue, the original section of the house on this site is believed to have been constructed in the 1770s by Israel Seacord, on land deeded to him by his father, James. During the Revolutionary War, Sir Lord William Howe, commander of British forces, made his headquarters in the Seacord farmhouse before marching his troops to the Battle of White Plains, October 1776. Records show that the land remained in the Seacord family until the turn of the 20th century, when it was purchased by Charles and Regina Niehaus. Charles was a nationally recognized sculptor who created many notable sculptures in Washington; Regina became a renowned horticulturist. The farmland was sold off, bit by bit, to the developers of Bonnie Crest neighborhood. The Israel Seacord farmhouse was enlarged over the years; the farm’s cider mill is now the home at 22 Quaker Ridge Road. The contemporary residents of the Israel Seacord House at 1337 North Avenue have made numerous and accurate restorations to the exterior and interior during the three decades of their ownership. The Leonard Seacord House 1075 North Avenue A section of this former farmhouse is believed to have been built in the late 1770s, as the first home of one of the community’s earliest Huguenot settlers, John Renoud. The house and its land later became part of the Seacord family’s extensive holdings in this area of town. Over the years, many additions and changes were made to the original structure, and now represent many different periods of New Rochelle’s past.

    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1. Past MGA Open Champions. 2. PGA Members in good standing in the Metropolitan and New Jersey PGA Sections.

  • May 7, 2020 to the MEMBERS of the UNITED STATES CONGRESS
    May 7, 2020 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: On behalf of the undersigned chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits, we urge you to extend eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program to all nonprofit organizations when Congress considers the next COVID-19 emergency assistance legislation. Thousands of nonprofit organizations — including ours — were left out of the Phase 3 CARES Act and are being hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Our groups contribute to the vitality and spirit of our communities. We employ thousands of people and provide important workforce development and educational tools, economic support, and civic and cultural events. Our organizations have suffered major financial losses due to the pandemic of the type the Paycheck Protection Program was intended to alleviate. Some non-profits have already permanently closed their doors. Many more will be forced to do so without relief from Congress. The CARES Act made certain nonprofit organizations eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. We urge Congress to extend this assistance to local chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits so that organizations like ours can continue to provide important, community-minded services. Sincerely, National American Institute of CPAs American International Automobile Dealers Agricultural Retailers Association Association Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute American Iron and Steel Institute American Apparel & Footwear Association

  • “I Play Hunches,” by Gene Sarazen
    14 THE SRTURDAY EVENING POST .Rug ust JI, 19J,s - absontly to myself: "How about a rudder on the back of my niblick ?" The result was a special niblick with a rear one-quarter of an inch lower than-the frout edge of the blade. In other words, it is designed with a rudder like an airpl ane, and its effect was amazing. I don't fear the traps now. I even seek them, as I did on two holes of the 1D32 world's championship match with Francis Ouimet. I mean that I played for the traps while Ouimet played for the pin, and I won both holes, as I fully expected to. I knew, you see, that the pin s were not advantageously placed; that Ouimet's pitch shots wouldn't hold the green, but would roll over into the rough. And I knew tha,t I could chip nearer to the cup from the sand than he or anybody else could from the grass. Nobody knows it, but when I threw away .Ils T old to Davis J.

    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

    THE APAWAMIS CLUB Two Club Road Rye, New York 10580 (914) 967-2100 www.apawamis.org About The Apawamis Club: Apawamis’ story demonstrates the richness of the club’s enduring legacy and the origin from which the founding of the Club was inspired dating back to the year 1890. The origins of squash at Apawamis are historically significant as it can be said that Apawamis played a prominent role in the development of the game, then known as “squash tennis.” It was in 1904 that the first squash house at Apawamis, comprising of two courts was built. It is believed that this was only the third such facility in the country built on club grounds after Tuxedo and the New York Racquet Club. Several years later, with the popularity of this new sport on firm footing, the courts were moved to the area of our current location. Although there have been many renovations and conversions of court size, Apawamis has kept pace with the times and proudly boasts one of the finest squash programs in the country. The Club’s support of the renowned athletic programs and the ongoing upgrades and renovations to the clubhouse and athletic facilities demonstrates the Apawamis membership’s appreciation of the club, for its history and traditions. • 700 plus family members • 5 squash singles courts and 2 squash doubles courts • 7 tennis courts and 3 paddle courts • 18 hole golf course • State-of-the-art athletic fitness center • Outdoor pool • 4 dining rooms, 2 bar lounges Position Summary: Job Title - Director of Junior Squash He or she will be the second highest ranking professional in the squash department at the Apawamis Club and the “heir apparent” to the Director of Apawamis Squash, Peter Briggs.
