Both honorees will be celebrated at the Bowl Dinner on Thursday, April 23rd, 2026. Scarsdale Mayor Justin Arest said, “Terri Simon truly embodies the best of Scarsdale. Her years of service on the Board of Education and the Library Board of Trustees reflect a deep and enduring commitment to our community. She played a pivotal role in shaping and securing approval for our new library, and I was fortunate to work alongside her throughout that process. I greatly valued her thoughtfulness, perseverance, and collaborative spirit, which made a lasting difference." Mayor Arest notes, “The Scarsdale Historical Society’s educational work is vital to preserving our shared story and helping residents understand the roots of our community. History matters deeply in Scarsdale, and I am sincerely grateful for all that the Historical Society does to keep that history alive.
