July 3, 2024: Ninety-seven degree temperatures didn’t wilt the enthusiastic crowd at the Bronxville Beautification Council’s (BBC) annual Garden Party.
Held in the lovely garden of Danielle and Alex Bici’s Bronxville home, the party featured hot jazz and perfectly chilled Margaritas. The jazz was provided by NYC cabaret performer and Bronxville native Juliet Ewing Kwan, her son Dash Kwan on trumpet, and John Prestianni on piano. The food and beverages were crafted by La Casa Bronxville and Scarborough Fair Catering and the combination was electrifying!
Generous sponsors of the event included Houlihan Lawrence Bronxville Brokerage, Bronxville Family Dental, New York-Presbyterian Hospital Westchester, La Gravinese Jewelers and many more.
The Bronxville Beautification Council is a group of local residents and merchants who give their time and raise funds to enhance the natural beauty of our Village. The BBC purchases plants and prunes our traffic islands, the railroad underpass and plantings in front of NY-Presbyterian Hospital. Individual planters bloom beside local businesses throughout the Village. From daffodils and tulips in the spring to all sorts of flowers in summer, to boxwoods and ivy in the fall, there is always color and joy for all to share.
In her remarks, Mayor Marvin expressed her delight and thanks to the Bronxville Beautification Council, our generous community, and the Bronxville Department of Public Works (DPW) for their dedication and tireless effort to keep our Village beautiful. Approximately 100 attendees sipped chilled margaritas and enjoyed conversations with neighbors and friends, all while supporting the BBC’s efforts.
