Westchester resident and 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attracted a record crowd at The Business Council of Westchester’s (BCW) Annual Fall Dinner held Monday, Nov. 20 at The Hilton Westchester with overflow tables that spilled out into the hallway.
The former first lady, secretary of state and U.S. senator from New York was at the Rye Brook hotel to receive the Westchester Global Leadership Laureate Award.
She was greeted — after a speech by BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon — with a standing ovation, rousing applause, and even a “We love you Hillary” shouted from a group in the back of the room.
After a brief mention about how crazy the electon was — she drew laughter from the audience when she referenced the recent Westchester county executive race between Democrat George Latimer and two-term Repulican Rob Astorino (as opposed to her own) — she spoke about lessons learned from the 2016 Presidential campaign.
“People often ask me, since the election, how I am,” said Clinton. “And I say, as a person, I’m good. But as an American, I’m concerned.”

Shortly before 4 a.m. EST Hillary Clinton’s campaign plane touched down at Westchester Airport for what is likely the last time. Press and staff deboarded, and a huge hometown crowd was on the tarmac awaiting and cheering her.
That’s Hillary’s van – those taillights you see.
The motorcade in front of the plane.
She will be voting in Chappaqua later this morning, but what a marathon day it was! And what a campaign! Despite all the vitriol from the other side, Hillary did a great job of staying on topic.
So we bid farewell to the Stronger Together big blue plane. We hope a different plane is in her future. For now, everyone is glad to have her back home, safe and sound. Well done, Hillary! Welcome home!

Happy “Inside Chappaqua Day!” Grace Bennett’s Magazine Fêted for 10 Successful Years and Hillary Clinton Chimes In

Ten years ago, a brilliant and savvy young woman began a local magazine to cover events and promote businesses in the New Castle, NY area. Grace Bennett’s Inside Chappaqua Magazine gained a following, succeeded immensely, and last night Grace celebrated that success with a grand soiree shared by family, friends, and business associates.
In the course of the evening, County Legislator Mike Kaplowitz presented Grace with a proclamation that today, March 15, is “Inside Chappaqua Day” in Westchester County. She looked like a movie star receiving the document!
Of course readers here know that Chappaqua is where Bill and Hillary Clinton live. Grace was able to accompany Hillary on her final official trip to Africa as Secretary of State last summer, and Hillary acknowledged Grace’s accomplishment.
So we congratulate Grace on the 10th anniversary of Inside Chappaqua Magazine and on the special day of county-wide celebration.
