Sunday rounds out the weekend with a special mother’s day champagne brunch at Rangoli Restaurant, that from 11:30 to 4.

And lastly, a little plug for the next week’s program. WVOX and Talk of the Sound Radio are proud to announce a forum for all of the Board of Education candidates. The invites have been sent out and we’ll be talking to each person on the ballot and asking the tough questions to see who is the right man or woman for the job. This is an open forum so people are encouraged to call in and ask questions directly to the candidates, or through the moderators that will be hosting the forum.

As always, these events were taken directly from the Talk of the Sound community calendar. If you want some great free publicity for your New Rochelle-centric events, you can contact me, Matthew Pryce at Calendar@newrochelletalk.com and get started with an admin account that allows you to post events directly to the calendar on the site. I read through them and choose the most interesting for announcement on the WVOX airwaves and worldwide on WVOX.com
