![]() The Nyack Center is the ‘center’ of our community, both geographically and in our hearts. We assemble there to laugh, think, celebrate, cry and be the best of ourselves. I have produced dozens of shows there, some to raise money for the Center itself and others for ArtsRock, our non-profit in Rockland. Nothing is more gratifying than having those front doors open and see the community gather. I have one memory of a holiday show we created, only to have it snow so much the roads were almost impassable and we feared no one would come. Yet, one by one, people trudged through the snow to fill the place for an evening of shared joy.

We have many people to thank-our amazing event chairs, fantastic committee, our honorees, our board, our staff, our sponsors,Ned Kelly, our advertisers, auction donors and everyone who helped make the night such a success! It was truly a spectacular 25 Anniversary! Our grateful thanks to each of you for your commitment to Nyack Center and our beloved community. As I said in my toast that night... "Here's to this amazing place that began as a dream and made it through twenty five years of happiness and joy, sorrows and losses, and remained committed to our mission, each other and love through it all. To Nyack Center! To love! To make a donation please visit www.nyackcenter.org. Photo George Pejoves Don't miss MADE BY HAND Art & Craft Fair this Sat. Nov. 21st!![]() I read all the remarkable news about the generous gifts Nyack Center was given so that tons of backpacks could be given to students starting school. It brought back memories of the first meetings of our small group of interested people with the use of a building, no money, no programs and what exists now. Peter and I are so blessed that we have been around long enough to see what committed and patient people in Nyack have achieved. The people in Nyack ended up creating a remarkable organization that gives to everyone with needs. It’s important to be reminded of what can happen when we all do what we can. An original optimist, Jo Baer In 2008 Nyack Center sparkled with a new event The Legacy Gala. The Legacy Gala is now Nyack Center's largest fundraiser of our season. The original event honored Jo and Peter Baer, longtime supporters of Nyack Center. Jo and Peter had been involved in the early days of the dream that is now Nyack Center. They were moving to North Carolina and wanted to ensure Nyack Center's future. We are forever in their debt for all they did and have done for our beloved Nyack Center and our community. 25th Anniversary Legacy Gala-SOLD OUT

Auction ![]() This is the appropriate time to reflect on how it came about. It was the vision of two amazing women...Rev. Lee Hancock and Jane Sherman...who looked at an empty decaying church and saw a facility, a center, for hope, joy and encouragement. Theirs was a tough and often nasty fight but their determination overcame all the stupid obstacles (and some stupid nasty individuals) and that old church came alive as a new kind of meeting hall...one that embraced and serviced the entire community. It is now the true center of our village and deserves our prideful support.
