Celebrating 50 years
Nor-West celebrated its 50th anniversary with a wonderful gala at Traveler's Rest, attended by friends, family, and community members. It was an opportunity to reflect on five decades of dedicated service to the community, and we felt immense pride and gratitude towards all those who have contributed to making Nor-West a truly exceptional organization.

Lifetime Achievement Awards
Nor-West honored three individuals who have been with the organization since its earliest days. Lisa Forbes and Diane Warnke have been involved with Nor-West since 1975, while Howard Bloom is a Nor-West original who has been participating since its inception 50 years ago. During the event, Howard was presented with a special proclamation from Peekskill Mayor Vivian McKenzie in recognition of his long-standing participation. This was a wonderful tribute to these Nor-West legends!
