A FAMILY CENTER CELEBRATION White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach, Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett and other officials recently welcomed Family Services of Westchester’s Lanza Family Center for All Ages to White Plains. FSW, along with more than 100 guests celebrated the culmination of a goal set years ago — to bring a state-of-the art intergenerational facility to White Plains. Following the ribbon cutting, guests were given an opportunity to tour the facility, including The Marjorie and Richard Dammann Youth Wing, named after the founders of FSW, and The Sperling Family Adult Wing. “Our only regret,” said Susan B. Wayne, FSW’s president and CEO, “is that Pat Lanza, whose $1 million challenge grant enabled us to embark on this project, did not live to see her vision become reality.” Lanza passed away in March 2014. The center, modeled after My Second Home, FSW’s award-winning intergenerational program in Mount Kisco, will bring children, teens and seniors together at one site to participate in programs, share experiences and benefit from one another, just as they would in a family setting.
