The Friends of Hilltop Hanover Farm would like to thank the dinner’s sponsors: RE/MAX ACE, UBS, Martha Gingrich, PG of New York, Banks Wealth Partners, and Fidelity Investments for their financial assistance. In addition, the Friends would like the thank the over 60 contributions to its silent auction. The silent auction was especially supported by the small business community of Yorktown and its surrounding areas: WHUD, Bicycle World of Mt. Kisco, Desires by Mikolay, J& B Family Jewelers, Jilco Windows, Suburban Wines and Spirits, Raymond Opticians, Edwin’s Deli, Club Fit, Yorktown Jewelers, DAS Auto Parts, Mt. Kisco Seaford, Turco’s Market, Yorktown Tire and Auto Care, and Yorktown Coach Diner.
In addition, Dave Paganelli, the Yorktown Highway Supervisor, must be applauded. Paganelli was asked by the Friends’ group if he could supply lighting for the event. He not only provided a light stanchion from the highway department, but his men transported a light from the Yorktown fire department. Plus, Paganelli asked the Yorktown School District for evening lights. Yorktown school district’s outside crew then delivered two additional lights! Thanks again to Yorktown’s highway department, fire department, and school district for their tremendous support of Hilltop Hanover Farm!
