Have you ever wondered where all the cookies go for OP DROP? Well, they go near and far! On this day we dropped 3000 boxes to the West Point Cadets! They gave us a nice tour of the campus and we lucked out to see them drop from the choppers...... and so much more.
Lets here it for Operation Cookie Drop again! Yorktown Lions Club hosted Summer music series, and this one was dedicated to the active and retired Veterans. Lets not forget the Cadet Nurse Corp! Yes, still fighting for recognition for their service. We celebrated and we are honored to thank our Local Hero's .
Marching in Parades .....
March can be wet and wild! Luckily last year the Annual St. Patricks Day Parade was better weather then the year before, great Job girls. Who remembers the 2022 parade? it was fitting, the wind and rain finally subsided just before the parade kicked off! We may have seen a glimpse of light, a rainbow, pot of gold and a wee leprechaun. We cant wait to see what this years weather will bring. Save the date to join in..... .
