Friends and supporters of Assemblyman Bob Castelli will have an opportunity to show their support for him at a unique event in northern Westchester this Saturday, September 15 from 4 PM to 7 PM, entitled, "An Evening of the Arts."  The event features the music of renowned trumpeter, Louise Baranger, and her jazz trio served up with wine and hors d'oeuvres, and the opportunity to view the work of acclaimed artist Erica Hauser.
