| Executive Director search begins |
At Home on the Sound is searching for the person who will be the face and voice of At Home in our community.
He or she will interface with and assist members with their concerns, establish working alliances between At Home and local service providers, and develop our social, learning and intergenerational programs.
Working with dedicated volunteers, the Executive Director will establish the organization's infrastructure.
Ideally the successful candi-date will have a background in and knowledge of social services and experience working with older adults and their issues. This is a dynamic opportunity for a pro-active problem solver who would enjoy the rewards-and challenges-of a start-up role.

Greetings!
In the past week At Home on the Sound achieved two important milestones as we move toward our goal of beginning to serve the community this summer.  First, we began the search for a part-time executive director. Second, we moved into our new offices at 545 Tompkins Ave., on the third floor of the building housing Briggs House Antiques in Mamaroneck.
Our office is about 1200 square feet, large enough for our staff and volunteers to work in comfort, while also providing space for board meetings and some community programs. There is plenty of parking and the space is easily reached with an elevator.
We will be holding an open house at our new offices as soon as our computers and phones are working and we are settled in. We hope you'll come by to celebrate with us. In the meantime, please read on to find out how you can help us reach our goals.
Sincerely,
Lynn Reichgott, President
Please make a note of our new address! |

Moving into our new space took the hard work and donations of many. Our thanks go to:
 Delores Battalia for the donation of furniture from the office of the late Sam Stein.
- Collins Brothers which stored the furniture and moved it into our new space at no charge.
- Penny Oberg, a whiz organizer who made all the arrangements for our move, and the members of her committee: David Willey, Diane Schreiber and Sue Unger. (That's Penny, sitting at our executive director's desk, with Diane.)
- Jeff Meighan for writing the contract for the new office space.
- Loraine Bauchmann, owner of Briggs House, for being so generous with our rent.

We've made a great start on our new offices, but to make it truly ready to function, we've need a few more things. We're hoping we can get most of these through donations, so please, take a look at this list, and send an email or give us a call, 914 833-3816 to let us know. You will of course receive a tax receipt for your donation.
- Couch, gently used
- Chairs: conference table and folding chairs
- Fax, copier and printer -- or an "all-in-one" to do it all
- Lamps
- Office supplies
- Coffee table
- Basic tools
- Waste basket

| Interested in volunteering? |
|
 Now that we have an office, a place to work and gather, we need volunteers for a myriad of tasks. Can you help us by
- Answering phones and staffing the office?
- Helping us organize the effort to recruit members?
- Providing transportation?
- Working on with the committee that is planning community programs?
Please let us know what you can do. The coffee is on at the office -- come on by! | |
