Stella the Trolley Needs Your Vote; Cortlandt Board to Vote on BCC 9/11 Memorial; Primary Elections

1. Peekskill Trolley Needs Your Vote to Win Small Business Grant

Posted by the Peeskill Trolle Company: The Peekskill Trolley Company has submitted an application to compete for small business grants being given out by Chase Bank and LivingSocial.com.  But in order to be considered, each company needs to get 250 votes from folks on facebook.  We have 143, but need 107 more by this Friday.  If we qualify I believe we have a good chance to get a grant as they are looking for UNIQUE small businesses that are also involved in their community.  The Peekskill Trolley fits that bill.  The grant would go a long way in building a trolley depot and permanent home for Stella here in Peekskill.

We hope you can help.
