Testimonials

As a small business owner, I am asked every.single.day. for contributions to causes. All are well intentioned, but most of them have the same basic foundation of ticket/party/auction. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to Meredith P. who organized this true community-based, personal yet entertaining approach to PVC's PTA fundraising. — Ivy, owner, Westchester small business

I was a little worried my expectations were too high after last year. They were not! Great job curating a lot of different experiences and perspectives in our little village. — Joanna

From Partners

Working with Stories on Hudson for our fundraiser was an absolute pleasure. Meredith collaborated closely with our storytellers, many of whom had little experience, and helped them find confidence in their voices. The event was a beautiful success, fostering a strong sense of community and connection. — Nora Nicholson, Westchester Children's Association

Meredith and I joined forces to put on the first Storytelling, Cocktails, and Dinner event at my culinary studio. It was a tremendous success, with guests thrilled to be part of an original, lively evening. Meredith, herself, is a gifted writer and whip-smart editor, and has the added knack of putting storytellers at ease. I could not have done an evening like this without her vision and partnership. — Ronna Welsh, Owner, Purple Kale Kitchenworks

The PVC-PTA storytelling evenings were huge successes. They drew people in from all walks of life and connected our school more closely with the community. It was a night in which people felt that they were part of something special and felt a sense of belonging that was powerful! — Michael Plotkin, Principal of Pierre Van Cortlandt Middle School, Croton-on-Hudson, NY
