CROTON LIONS CLUB AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses or worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

CROTON LIONS CLUB AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS

The Croton Lions Club is pleased to announce the recipients of three scholarship awards this year. The graduating Croton Harmon High School seniors are Vincent Flynn, Maya Sebestyan, and Max Newman.

Vincent will continue his studies at SUNY Buffalo, Maya is headed to Michigan and Max will be attending Boston University. They each spoke about their community service projects and future plans before receiving their awards. Community service is a required element to be considered for this award.

The scholarships this year were named for Lions, Gerry Klein, Vic Conte, and Brian Fitzpatrick as a friend of the Lions.

The students each received a check for $5,000 dollars to aid them in continuing their education. The Lions Club was able to increase the amount of scholarships from $3,000 to $5,000 this year through fundraising efforts and the generosity of the village residents.

Since 1939 when the Croton Lions Club was founded, over $500,000 in scholarships have been awarded to deserving students. The Lions are the largest service organization in the world with over 1.4 million members who work to improve their communities through service. Their motto is “We Serve” and the Croton Lions are happy to serve the village of Croton on Hudson.

Lions president, Bob Anderson closed the dinner with some thoughts for the students to carry forward. He asked them to remember the people who helped them and to pay it forward. He suggested they make service to others a part of their growth as a person. Any small gesture of kindness and caring towards others is very rewarding and finding a group or organization that is important to you and donating some time.

He also quoted Aaron Sorkin, “Don’t ever forget you are a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit – things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day: Civility, Respect, Kindness, Character.”

The scholarship award dinner was held from 6-8 p.m., June 17, 2026, at Franco Martini Restaurant, 2025Albany Post rd., Croton, NY. It was attended by Lions, students, family, friends and guidance counselors of the students and a good time was had by all.

More information about the Lions can be found at crotonlions.org, Facebook and Instagram.

SARCONE ETAL IN THE NEWS----DOJ REVEALS RESULTS OF "SIGNIFICANT" FRAUD INVESTIGATION IN CAPITAL REGION

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses or worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

DOJ reveals results of ‘significant’ fraud investigation in Capital Region

EXCERPTED According to the DOJ, the suspects fraudulently obtained over $4 million in Medicaid reimbursements from January 2020 to March 2025. They were charged with superseding indictments of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and healthcare fraud, as well as conspiracy to pay healthcare kickbacks.

48-year-old Muhammad Zishan of Albany County, 34-year-old Madiha Javed of Rensselaer County and 20-year-old Ghazali Shaikh of Warren County were also accused of unlawfully managing a taxi company called Latham Taxi Inc. as a Medicaid transportation provider. The three allegedly paid Medicaid recipients in cash, controlled substances and other items to use their service.

The trio fraudulently obtained around $660,000 in Medicaid reimbursements from January 2020 to February 2025, officials said. Charges included conspiracy to commit wire fraud and healthcare fraud, conspiracy to pay healthcare kickbacks, conspiracy to falsify trip data and more.

“These taxi providers preyed not only upon vulnerable New Yorkers but on the American taxypayers, abusing a system intended to ensure beneficiaries are able to have safe, reliable transportation to and from healthcare appointments,” Sarcone said.
