The HEART Committee, formally established by Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson on May 22, 2024, is a community-oriented body designed to recognize and honor significant contributions to the village. This committee is a successor to the 125th Anniversary Committee, which was sunsetted following its successful efforts in celebrating the village's milestone anniversary.

The HEART Committee is guided by the principles of Helping, Exemplifying, Aiding, Respecting, and Teaching (HEART). Its primary mission is to identify and honor individuals, businesses, or community groups—whether living or deceased—that have notably contributed to the betterment of the village.

SUNDAY'S MERIT LESSON

All this rain in the past week revealed a minor erosion issue in a friend's long gravel path---thankfully in the middle and not at the end----as two fifty-pound bags of pea gravel were needed to remedy the situation.  

At our ages, we brought it down bucket by bucket to avoid any back issues. Then as her grandson watched from the porch, he suddenly exclaimed that he had the solution.  He'd help using his trusty beach pail.

I'll give you ten cents for every pail, you keep count, I trust you, just don't overfill it, she added. To which her grandson replied, "oh boy".

In the end, we were done in record time, and he had earned a dollar.  She doubled it.  He was thrilled.  We had a canned cocktail.
