Greenburgh is a diverse community. A group of young families who reside in the Ardsley school district are forming an Ardsley Chinese Association. They asked for help in reaching out to the community for new members. The following is information about their association with contact info. This association joins another Chinese association that serves our community. The Evergreen Club has been meeting at the Theodore Young Community Center for 20 years.Over 100 participants enjoy Tai Chai, singing, English instruction, board games, dance and music.
