This year’s event promises to be a fun, colorful, and joy-filled evening — a true celebration of our community and all that we’ve accomplished together. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to meet other families, strengthen our connections, and expand the strong sense of community that makes our organization so special. Our families are an incredible source of support to one another, sharing experiences, ideas, and resources that benefit everyone.

Hello everyone!
What a wonderful weekend of programs!

Over at Escapades, the group celebrated the fall season by making their own apple turnovers and creating apple-themed crafts.

At Clubhouse, the kids got hands-on with science and creativity—building film canister rockets, listening to music with Miss Marlana, and creating handprint trees in art. They also got a special visit from our friends at Fit4all NY, a fitness training center that works with individuals of all abilities. A big thank you to Carmine and his team for joining us!

Our teens and adults took a trip to the Walkway Over the Hudson, where they enjoyed beautiful views, great company, and a well-deserved ice cream treat afterward.

And the fun didn’t stop there—on Sunday, the Knights headed to Beacon for a regional softball tournament. Our Skills athletes crushed it and took home medals, while our Traditional team went 3 for 3 and brought home the gold! So proud of all our athletes and participants for another amazing weekend together!

Hello everyone!

This past weekend was full of fun across all of our programs!

We started Friday evening with Friday Night Fun: Pizza and Craft Night. Participants enjoyed a delicious pizza dinner before getting creative with a variety of crafts, including sun catchers made from mason jars, balance stick figures, and picture frames. It was a fantastic way to kick off the weekend.

On Saturday, the excitement continued across our programs. At Escapades, the group baked homemade oatmeal cranberry cookies, worked on fall-themed crafts, and took advantage of the beautiful weather outside. Over at Clubhouse, participants got busy making rock picture frames, decorating their rocks and adding in photos right away. They also enjoyed singing and dancing with Miss Marlana and spent time outdoors. Meanwhile, our Fantastic Friends Adults headed to the Catskills for a scenic train ride through the mountains, making it a memorable day of adventure.

Hello Everyone!

It’s been a busy and exciting week here at North East!

Last week, a group headed out to cheer on the Hudson Valley Renegades as they faced the Greensboro Grasshoppers. Even though the Renegades didn’t come out on top, the night was filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of fun!

On Thursday, we celebrated one of our favorite traditions—our annual Softball Game Under the Lights! The North East Knights took on the Dutchess Hurricanes in a game that never disappoints. The excitement isn’t over yet—the Knights and Hurricanes will meet again this Thursday in Fishkill!

To close out the summer, a group enjoyed a day at Lake Compounce over the weekend. Between thrilling rides, time with friends, and plenty of memories made, it was the perfect way to wrap up the season.

Check out some of the highlights in the photos below!
