9/11 Remembrance
No one alive on September 11th, 2001, will ever forget the tragedy that took place that morning. Here in Westchester County a mere 20 miles north of ground zero, we felt the effects of the attacks in a very real and challenging way.
However, on our worst day, we discovered the best in ourselves, and through the pain we found hope.
Today and every day, we remember those who lost their lives and the loved ones left behind.

D-Day Remembered
On this date 75 years ago brave young men from the United States, England and Canada landed on beaches in France and swung the tide of World War II, the day ever since known as D-Day. It was the start of a momentous crusade, one that changed all of history and saved western civilization. Today we remember and thank those who did not return and are thankful to those who did. Their sacrifice was nothing short of saving our wonderful freedoms and way of life.
Beware of Grandson Scam
Scammer Using Westchester Clerk’s Office in Ripoff Attempt
WHITE PLAINS, NY: The Grandson Scam, this time using the Westchester County Clerk’s Office as the “collection agency”, has hit again in Minnesota. This scam, in which potential victims are called by a man pretending to be a grandson who has gotten into trouble with the law, claimed $ 9,000 was due in the Clerk's office for bail. The person posing as the grandson requested bail payment in the forms of thousands of dollars in gift cards or to have the money wired from the grandparent. Once the gift cards are sent, or the money is wired, it is nearly impossible to get it back. The potential victim did not fall for it because his grandson had never been to Westchester but did report it to Clerk Legal Division chief Joseph Castellano.
In Memoriam

Idoni Seeks to Avoid Zombie Homes and Other Nuisances

Another Successful Mobile Passport Season
County Clerk Says Numbers Indicate It’s As Popular As Ever.
The Westchester County Clerk's Mobile Passport Office has concluded its 2019 season and it was yet another success.
For the last fourteen years, the Office of Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni has sent a mobile office truck staffed with passport agents from the Clerk's office to assist the public with applying and renewing passports in the convenience of their hometown.
The Mobile Office visited thirty-one (31) communities across the county of Westchester and accepted more than 1,400 passport applications. The Clerk's mobile office truck was seen in northern towns like Cortlandt and Somers, on the sound shore in Port Chester and Mamaroneck, the river towns of Ossining and Dobbs Ferry, and all six cities in the county, making sure to visit every town and city at least once.
The Mobile Office saw its fair share of curveballs, like the larger than expected crowd at the Will Library in Yonkers, where the staff processed over 90 applications. Or in Ossining when the generator on the truck stopped working. Each time, we are proud to say, the crew kept their cool, acted professionally, and had a successful day.
The residents of Westchester have routinely expressed their gratitude for this excellent service provided by the County Clerk. Westchester residents have posted on Facebook, left a review on Google, or even called Clerk Idoni, to share their thanks for the Mobile Passport Office.
"We are pleased to be able to provide this service to the residents of Westchester County," said County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni. "Not everyone can make it to our office in White Plains, and not every post office accepts passport applications. The mobile office is another way the County Clerk's office can make people's lives easier."
The Clerk's mobile office and passport agent staff will be rolling into your town again starting in the spring of 2020.Be sure to check the Westchester County Clerk website for the updated schedule as it becomes available at https://www.westchesterclerk.com.
Raising Money for Breast Cancer Research
County Clerk's Office Sets Record High At This Year’s Fundraising Effort
WHITE PLAINS: Every fall for the last 14 years, the employees of the Westchester County Clerk's Office have worked collectively to organize a bake sale and raffle in support of the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk, held at Manhattanville College.
Employees bring both homemade baked goods and donate items to be raffled off, along with securing donated items from local businesses. This year saw some of our highest value donated raffle items to date, including an IPad, Beats Solo headphones, gift certificates from local restaurants and businesses, hundreds of dollars’ worth of lottery tickets attached to a scarecrow, jewelry, and a Basket of Cheer donated by the County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni himself.
County employees from other departments, along with members of the public, purchased baked goods and entered the raffles for a chance to win a big-ticket item. When all was said and done, the hard work of the County Clerk's office employees paid off, with $6,490.00 raised for the Breast Cancer walk. This total is the most raised in the fourteen years the Clerk's Office has been organizing this fundraiser.
“I am very proud of the collective effort of our team," stated Westchester County Clerk Idoni. “Cancer affects every one of us, so making this fundraiser a success is personal for all of our staff.”
County Clerk Idoni was honored to personally present the American Cancer Society with the checks at the Making Strides against Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday, October 20th, located on the campus of Manhattanville College.
