WESPAC has moved!
We are very pleased to announce that we have moved to a large, spacious and airy location with wooden floors, lots of windows and plenty of free parking on Tarrytown Road in White Plains/Greenburgh, less than half a mile from the White Plains train station (no more than a 10 minute walk). The WESPAC Board has signed a ten year lease with the building management for this 1,550 square foot space. It is truly a gem for the Westchester social justice community.
Our lease allows us to have other groups use the space in exchange for rental income. We are looking for a wide range of usage of our space. Please contact Nada at 914.449.6514 or wespacfoundation@gmail.com if you are interested in renting space for workshops, seminars, after school programs, special events, tai chi, yoga, meditation classes or other healing arts, community meetings, special events and more.
We will schedule an open house later in September.
Our new address is:
WESPAC Foundation
77 Tarrytown Road, Suite 2W
White Plains, NY 10607
Phone and email remain the same: 914.449.6514 and wespacfoundation@gmail.com
We hope to see you soon in our new space!
Felice has brought to our attention: "Our progressive Democratic representatives -- Nita Lowey, Eliot Engel, Kirsten Gillibrand, and of course Chuck Schumer have co-sponsored a bill that imposes criminal penalties on anyone who supports boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel. They need to hear from us that we cherish the first amendment and the right to free speech and political action."
