Las Posadas ~ A Spanish Tradition ~ ended last night at Holy Name of Mary Church (click on the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/22283683@N07/6563758279/in/photostream). If you haven't yet attended any of the events sponsored by Holy Name's Spanish Ministry, we encourage you to do so. Good food, fellowship, music abounds, and all are welcome.
More photos from last night's Las Posadas have been sent directly to the coordinators for the Spanish Ministry and the church administrator Cheryl Comitto. Feliz Navidad.

YOUR DRINKING WATER--A 2011 MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
The village has sent by regular post, a notice dated 12/14/11 concerning September 2011 "more than two" coliform incidents involving our drinking water. The notice was not received until today. As many people simply throw out these notices, we felt it was important to scan it and place it online. Click on the image to the right.
