Town board honors local historians and youth leaders for Women’s History Month
Summary
Greenberg’s Town Board proclaimed Constance “Connie” Kehoe and Raven Thigpen Cole during its March 25 meeting, highlighting Kehoe’s work with Revolutionary Westchester 250 and Cole’s youth leadership and appointment to the Westchester County Youth Board.
The Town of Greenberg used part of its March 25 meeting to recognize local leaders for Women’s History Month. Council members read proclamations honoring Constance “Connie” Kehoe for her work with Revolutionary Westchester 250 and Raven Thigpen Cole for youth development and county service.
Ellen Hendrix read a proclamation describing Kehoe’s work with Revolutionary Westchester 250 and her efforts to surface the roles of Westchester residents in the Revolutionary era. Kehoe, introduced to the board by the mayoral team, talked about Deborah Sampson and other women who served or supported the Revolutionary cause and encouraged residents to attend regional events, including a May 2 observance in Yorktown Heights and the planned Odell House museum opening in the fall.
Raven Thigpen Cole received a proclamation read by a council member that listed her work in Greenberg Central School District leadership roles, service with school and youth programs, and her recent appointment to the Westchester County Youth Board. Cole, a lifelong Greenberg resident, thanked the board and described the Theodore D. DeYoung Community Center’s youth programming and invitations for residents to connect with TDYCC’s summer and ongoing offerings.
The recognitions were presented at the start of the meeting before a full agenda of public hearings and consent items. Both recipients urged residents to engage with historical programming and youth services and left information the town can post on its website.
