Neighbors gather for potluck and movie night in Windsor Village: Larchmont Chronicle
The Windsor Village Potluck and Movie Night on August 3 was a hit! Neighbors visited, played games and shared food on the cul-de-sac of Ninth Street across from Harold Henry Park.
FAMILIES enjoyed watching Disney/Pixar’s “Ratatouille” on the lawn at Harold Henry Park.
Barbara Pflaumer, President of the Windsor Village Association (WVA), and Heather Brel, Vice President of the WVA, welcomed everyone in attendance. They introduced the neighbors and made sure the young children had art supplies to use while the parents chatted.
Windsor residents brought a variety of homemade and store-bought foods to share, and Elvis, a well-known and beloved neighborhood dog, “manned” the buffet table for nearly half an hour (politely taking only what he was given).
Afterwards, families brought blankets and lawn chairs to the park to watch the 2007 Disney/Pixar film “Ratatouille.”
“RATATOUILLE” is played on the screen for the neighbors.
There was plenty of popcorn for everyone and laughter from the neighbors gathered under the stars was in the air.
The Windsor Village Association strives to host three movie nights a year at Harold Henry Park. Weeks before the free events, WVA board members make sure to reach every door in the neighborhood with flyers to make everyone feel welcome.
The big city feels smaller
“The park films are a great way to bring neighbors together and make a big city seem smaller through shared interests and experiences,” said Brel.

She believes that strengthening neighborhood connections leads to more effective community action in times of need – whether it’s working to improve safety on our streets, bringing a meal to a sick neighbor, offering a helping hand during a global pandemic, or spreading important emergency preparedness information.
“The connections that are created at social events like this have made us stronger as a community,” she said.
