Last Chance to File Taxes, School Board Races Set

1. Last chance to contribute to children's hospital walk

 This week is the last chance to sponsor your local Patch editor in Saturday's Go the Distance Walk supporting Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center. If you'd like to donate to a participant, click here and search for my name.

2. Last chance to file your taxes

For those of you who haven't...today is Tax Day. Typically on April 15, the day was moved to Tuesday because April 15 is a Sunday this year, and Monday is Emancipation Day, a holiday in Washington D.C. celebrating the freeing of slaves in the district. Under the tax code, filing deadlines can't fall on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. And if you still aren't ready to file to Uncle Sam, check out these tips to filing for an extension on the Huffington Post.

3. Katonah-Lewisboro school board race has a field of four

With the deadline for filing school board petitions passed Monday afternoon, the candidate slate is complete for the local school board races. In Katonah-Lewisboro, two new candidates have joined Mindy Yanish, proprietor of Offerings in Katonah, and Marjorie Schiff, a college strategy planner—expanding the pool to four people running for two open seats. Check back with Patch for updates to this story.

4. Spring benefit for JLNW

The Junior League of Northern Westchester is hosting their first annual "Benefit Boutique," which includes an evening of shopping, food and friends on Thursday April 26 from 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. There's a fashion show at 8 p.m. and tickets are $35.

5. Town of Bedford meets

The town board meets tonight at 8 p.m. and is expected to approve the retirement of Bedford police officer John Dunn.
