This holiday season, we honored our Veterans with an Appreciation Holiday Breakfast. It was our pleasure partnering with the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk in hosting such a beautiful morning for our Veterans to enjoy. In attendance, there was a variety of Veteran members including Post 6249. Post 400, Holbrook AMVETS, Vietnam Veterans of America, Navy, Army and Air force. Together with the EOC, we sent out e-mail invitations, posted on social media pages and sent messages to Long Island Veteran groups inviting them to our appreciation breakfast. This was our way of giving back to our community and saying “thank you” to Veterans who sacrificed their lives for us.

Toys were donated by employees of Four Seasons Sunrooms and Windows.  “I gladly took the opportunity to serve our Veterans breakfast in the beautiful Fou...

Although, none of these activities may be possible if the windows are damaged or dated. Replacement of the windows in your home may be essential to prevent energy inefficiencies, maintain home value, and offer protection from the elements or burglaries. But how can you te...
