Celebrate leadership, literacy, and the heart of our community at the First Annual Rivertowns Chamber Gala: From Readers to Leaders, benefitting the Rivertowns Public Libraries of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-on-Hudson, and Irvington.

This unforgettable evening supports both the mission of the Rivertowns Chamber of Commerce and the essential work of our local libraries—spaces that empower our youth, enrich minds of all ages, and serve as trusted community hubs.

We will proudly honor and celebrate the work of these  five extraordinary individuals who embody the values of literacy, leadership, and local impact:

• Sharon DeLevie, President of the Friends of the Hastings-on-Hudson Library
• Ronnie Kurian, Member of the Friends of the Dobbs Ferry Library
• Christopher Mitchell, Trustee of the Irvington Library Board
• Eric Neuner, Co-Founder & Creative Director of HiThere! 
• Marianne Ripin, Children’s Librarian at the Ardsley Public Library

Your participation—whether by attending, sponsoring, or donating—helps sustain and strengthen the work these institutions do every day.
