Scarsdale, N.Y. (November 9, 2017) — Jessica Chan, a real estate agent at Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty’s Scarsdale office, hosted a successful Fall Family Fun Day event for local families at the Greenburgh Nature Center (GNC) in Scarsdale, N.Y.
Nearly 100 people attended the free event on October 28, which featured GNC’s barn tour and animal program. Children were able to visit the sheep, goats, pheasants, eagles and other farm animals in the barn. Families were also able to get up close with the center’s snakes, turtles and chinchillas while learning about these animals via GNC’s Naturists, Casey Keefe and Lindsay Cohen. There was also a raffle where two lucky families won a “grand membership” to the Greenburgh Nature Center, which entitles them to free admission to indoor exhibits and other various discounts.
The event’s origins stem from Chan’s creation of a social media group for young families with preschool-aged children in Westchester earlier this year.
“The group was created out of necessity,” Chan said. “My buyer clients, whether they have recently moved here or are looking to buy a house here for the great school districts in Westchester, are in constant need of recommendations relating to schooling and activities for their pre-school children. So I created this social media group with the hope that I could help these and other families by sharing information and resources.” Along with her husband, Michael Paul, Chan is raising two boys aged four and six.
After months of online interactions, Chan thought it would be beneficial for the families in the group to get to know each other in person. The idea for the event was created and Chan immediately decided on GNC as the venue. “Greenburgh Nature Center is one of Westchester’s most loved places for nature lovers and families,” Chan said. “As a Scarsdale resident, I am a patron and beneficiary of GNC’s programs, so having our first event at the GNC is a great way for me to create awareness of GNC and give back to our local community. The event was a huge success and I want to thank everyone who participated, especially the team at GNC, led by Executive Director Margaret Goldberg, for making it happen.
“This is so encouraging as I already have group members volunteered to organize the next events going forward,” she continued. “Families with young children who are new or looking to move to the area are welcome to contact me to join the group for information on future events.”
