On Friday, October 28th at 7:30pm, Ray O’Hanlon, Ossining resident and award winning author of “The New Irish Americans” (Roberts Rinehart, 1998) will discuss and read passages from his latest book, “The South Lawn Plot”.

Ray O’Hanlon is the editor of the New York-published Irish Echo newspaper. A native of Dublin, O’Hanlon has reported from three continents in a newspaper career going back over thirty years. In addition to his work as a reporter and editor, O’Hanlon has been a frequent contributor to media outlets reporting on Ireland, Irish American affairs, and Anglo-Irish relations. He has appeared on CBS 60 minutes, ABC World News Tonight, and the Lehrer New Hour on PBS. His book, “The New Irish Americans” (Roberts Rinehart, 1998) was the recipient of a Washington Irving Book Award. A keen reader of U.S., Irish and British history, O’Hanlon lives with his wife Lisa, a native of Danville, Illinois, and their three children, in Ossining, New York.

” A fast-paced page-turner. O’Hanlon takes the reader around the globe, casting his mind to an Irish hillside, the countryside of Essex, the back alleys of London, a Taipei penthouse and the corridors of power at No. 10 Downing St. and 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. What follows is a cavalcade of characters and details that lead, whether from the 1600s or the 21st century, to the American president’s residence. It might remind some of “The Da Vinci Code” or the works of Michael Connelly.”

Over 35 artists from Westchester and Putnam Counties came to the Shattemuc Yacht Club to create art work inspired by the beauty of the Hudson River on Saturday, August 6th.  The artwork was displayed at a wine and cheese event that drew over 100 attendees.

“We are very proud of this art event,” said Coulter Young, who ran the event.  “The members of Shattemuc and the outside art community really showed how much fun an event like this can be.  I hope it is the first of many.”

The Garrison Art Center, a group which has held their art auctions in May and October for many years, agreed to help Shattemuc in this their first Plein Air Paint Out and Auction.   Coulter Young, an artist and member, gave generously of his time to put on this special event.

The Plein Air Paint Out was both a social and financial success. 

“Our members were the real beneficiaries.  Many of us were able to take home beautiful works of art that reflect the Hudson River and our club, ” said Coulter. “I can’t thank all of the members of the club enough for their support and help. ”
