To the Community:
Nov. 4, 2020: When COVID-19 brought the world to a screeching halt, the BCW Tree House was ready to answer the call. Although we could no longer offer in-person support, we continued our renowned Tree House program virtually and provided hundreds of virtual sessions to individuals at no cost.
We expanded our services to include Covid-19 Specific Support Groups, Covid-19 Individual Counseling, Covid-19 Services for Spanish Speaking Families and Covid 19 School Professional Training.
Thanks to our supporters, The Tree House program will start again this month with a mix of returning and newly grieving families. I think one of our Tree House moms put it best: “This journey has been extremely challenging for all of us and I’m sure there are more challenges ahead. But the Tree house has served as a huge pillow for all of us throughout this rough patch.
Please know the Tree House is here for all who need to grieve in a supportive and accepting environment, and we are eternally thankful to those who have helped to make sure that continues to happen.
Forever Grateful,
Anne Marie Conlan, Director, Bereavement Center of Westchester
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
