To the Editor:
Mar. 14, 2018: We write in support of Natasha Nordahl’s candidacy for village justice. As a trial lawyer with twenty-plus years of courtroom experience, Natasha is eminently qualified to serve in this position.
In addition, the undersigned served with Natasha during her term as a director of the Friends of the Bronxville Public Library. Natasha held her position as a director from September 2008 to January 2015 while working as a lawyer and as a mother of three young sons.
Despite the many demands on her time, Natasha was a committed director who actively served our community by striving to keep the library, one of our greatest assets, vibrant and relevant.
She attended monthly board meetings offering fair and balanced legal insights with common-sense solutions and recommendations. She was an essential voice on our board. Natasha was also actively involved in our budgeting process, fundraising, and event planning and implementation. Finally, Natasha served as an officer during the last two years of her term.
Based on our years of serving with her, we believe Natasha Nordahl, who has raised three children in our beautiful village, worked as a trial lawyer, and served as an active, dedicated and invaluable community volunteer, to be the best candidate for the position of village justice. She knows the law. She knows courtroom procedure and etiquette. She knows how to work hard. And she knows our village.
Please join us in voting for Natasha Nordahl on Tuesday, March 20.

Editor's note: MyhometownBronxville does not fact-check statements in letters to the editor, and the opinions do not necessarily reflect the thinking of its staff. Its objective in publishing letters to the editor is to give air to diverse thoughts and opinions of residents in the community.
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
