BACK ONLINE--IN CASE YOU MISSED IT-- 11/20/2019--RE-POSTED BY SPECIAL REQUEST:

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.

BACK ONLINE--BY SPECIAL REQUEST: On November 30th, 2019, Purple Heart Homes (Downstate Chapter) held a fundraiser hosted by THE GRANDSTAND.......The benefit for disabled area veterans--with raffles, food, and music--drew a packed house.

For those who don't know, Purple Heart Homes was funded by two Combat Wounded Veterans, Dale Beatty and John Gallina, who are on a mission to care for other service connected disabled Veterans by providing housing solutions either through rehab or remodeling of current housing or acquiring new housing to ensure safe, barrier-free living for Veterans with disabilities and the loved ones who care for them. 

The 501C-3 Non-profit operates in Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, and Orange counties as well as the 5 Boroughs of NYC.

If you couldn't make last night's event at The Grandstand but would still like to make a donation, the Downstate Chapter's FB page can be found here

Or you can contact Mark Franzoso directly.

Music at the 11/30 fundraiser was provided by MaryAnn Renza & Friends.

p.s. The Grandstand held their annual Potluck Leftover From Thanksgiving event on 12/1. 

PLEASE NOTE: THE GRANDSTAND HAS CLOSED; IT WOULD HAVE TURNED 50 IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023.
