CROTON LIONS AND BLUEPATH SERVICE DOGS, GRADUATION CEREMONY, AND PHOTOS

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

This is autism awareness month and Vic Conte, president of the Croton Lions Club and secretary Bob Anderson recently attended the BluePath graduation ceremony at the Hyatt in Fishkill, N.Y..Four dogs will be moving on to families of children with autism. The dogs go through a rigorous training program of three years before they can graduate. Each dog is a trained at a cost of approximately $40,000 and will be provided to the family at no cost. The Croton Lions are happy to make an annual donation to BluePath as part of their humanitarian mandate.
