Saturday evening the Cronin Brothers VFW Post 1756 celebrated our local first responders with their third annual appreciation dinner. Guests enjoyed a spaghetti dinner courtesy of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary and were given certificates of appreciation by Vince Long.  Organizations that were not able to attend will receive their certificates at a later date.
