FROM THE MAILBOX

Getting so many inquiries about the Gouveia property and its history, etc. 

Will certainly try to answer them all but it's Lent and we're busy with clean-up, helping a neighbor, and getting ready for St Pat.'s--and Easter.

For now, it is instead suggested that you manually search the blog for the keyword "Gouveia", using the box in the left-hand side of the screen, upper corner.

Many of the people initially involved in opposing this acquisition have since moved on or out but most of the links still work.

GOUVEIA--OSSINING---BANK FOR SAVINGS

With our own Gouveia Park in the news---and costs ever rising year after year---the blog has been receiving requests for info about that other Gouveia gift---the Bank for Savings in Ossining which, to our knowledge, still remains empty. 

Proposal after proposal has come and gone---affordable housing, a jazz venture, an arts and cultural center, a winery, etc. etc. etc.

Costs to bring the building into this century were 2.9 million---and that estimate is from some years ago.

ROB YASINAC'S article on the issue is quite thorough----Read more about it in HUDSON VALLEY RUINS at Hudson Valley Ruins: Ossining Bank for Savings 

The last report on the Ossining site here was in 2019 at EverythingCroton: STATUS OF THE GOUVEIA "GIFT", THE OSSINING BANK BUILDING (FOR SAVINGS), STILL EMPTY 2019

As always, you should do your own due diligence to see if there is any more current news.

CROTON GIRL SCOUT TROOP 2267 RECENT FUNDRAISER FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND DPW

Welcome to Everything Croton, (while the New One is down) a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.Support Croton’s First Responders & DPW with Girl Scout Cookies!

Croton Girl Scout Troop 2267's recent fundraiser to support Croton's First Responders and DPW was very successful. They collected donations to provide 31 boxes (enough for every employee at DPW) plus a few more that will be distributed to our first responders.

Cookies were distributed in two ways: handed directly to DPW employees working overtime last Saturday, and the balance were delivered to the DPW office on Tuesday. Click on the photos below, all rights reserved. The DPW workers were truly touched by the gesture.

Girl Scouts are still selling cookies to be donated to Croton Caring, local first responders, veterans and the military, as well as to satisfy your own Girl Scout cookie fix! The best way is to order from a local Girl Scout or at an upcoming booth.

People who are interested in buying Girl Scout cookies can find upcoming cookie booths or place an order to be shipped straight to them from local troops at
