President
Vic Conte

Vic has been involved with the Croton Lions Club for over 30 years. He has lived in Croton since 1963 and enjoys so many things that Croton has to offer. Some of his favorite places are: Silver Lake, Croton Dam, the Black Cow and Croton Landing Park. And now that he and wife Linda have moved to the Village, he walks around the streets almost daily. If you see him around, feel free to say hello!

Vice-President
Pete Tsagarakis
Pete has been a Croton resident most of his life and a Croton Lions member since 1991. He opened his first restaurant, the Croton Colonial Restaurant, in Croton-on-Hudson in 1968. He has been a legend in the village of Croton ever since. Pete has volunteered and/or donated to many important local causes such as the Harry Chapin Run Against Hunger, Croton Caring Committee, and BluePath. Pete has a favorite saying, “We’ll make it happen.“ Pete exhibits true Lionism - when there’s a need he’s there.

Don has lived in Croton most of his life with his beloved wife, Doris. He’s a retired teacher from Croton-Harmon High School. Besides being a teacher, he was a basketball coach for many years and to this day is called “coach” by his friends and former students. Don also served as a village trustee. A Lions member for over fifty years, Don has been shown to be the epitome of what Lionism is all about. When something needs doing, you can count on Don to pitch in.
