Buckley Country Day School to honor Garden City resident
Ahmed Bendary Buckley Country Day School in Roslyn is proud to announce that it will honor Ahmed Bendary at its annual Spring Gala on Saturday, May 12th, 2018. Bendary, a Garden City resident, has been a part of the Buckley community since 2000. Garden City residents Deborah and Richard DeVerna will serve as chairs of the Gala Committee.
In 2000, Ahmed and Bouchra Bendary enrolled their eldest son, Rani ’09, in kindergarten at Buckley. He was followed by Samer ’11 and Nour ’13. This June their daughter, Yara, will graduate—making her the fourth Bendary to do so. Founder and CEO of Bendary Car Corporation, Ahmed graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in electrical engineering. In 2005, Mr. Bendary joined Buckley’s Board of Trustees and was instrumental in supporting key facility and campus improvements. During his tenure, Mr. Bendary has been a dedicated Board member in every way. “Ahmed and his wife Bouchra have been incredibly generous and supportive members of our community for almost two decades, giving their time and resources selflessly,” said Dr. JeanMarc Juhel, Buckley’s Headmaster. “Their most significant gift, of course, has been the pleasure of having their four children in our school.” For more information on Buckley’s Spring Gala, please contact Director of Development Marjorie P. Jean-Paul at mjeanpaul@buckleycountryday.com or 516-627-1910, extension 2771.
Local artist visits Troop 1242
This past Monday afternoon, renowned local artist and Garden City resident Suzie Alvey visited Troop 1242 to share with them some of her paintings and techniques. This visit also helped the girls complete their latest badge requirements and made for a fun afternoon. Mrs. Alvey shared with the girls some of her painting techniques, inspirations, and suggestions about art. The girls were full of questions and shared some of their own art experiences with Mrs. Alvey. A huge “thank you” from Troop 1242 to Suzie Alvey for allowing us to see and understand more about art, and for sharing her own paintings with the Troop!
