Easton buildings lit green for ‘causes closest to home’

EASTON — The lights outside Beau Monde Elite Fitness on S. Aurora Street and iFrog Marketing Solutions on Bay Street have been changing color all fall. They were purple in September for Talbot Goes Purple, pink in October for breast cancer awareness, and yellow at the start of November for the service members who are not home yet. Now through Nov. 11, both buildings are lit green in support of veterans. Operation Green Light for Veterans is a national campaign that asks counties, businesses, and households to light up green in the week before Veterans Day, and the color was chosen for hope and for moving forward. The teams associated with both of these businesses know none of these are causes anyone around here needs to be sold on. They are the ones that have already come to touch most of the families in this county, and lighting up for them is a way to show support, together. “It may seem like a hard season to agree on much of anything,” the marketing team at Preston Automotive Group agrees,” But nobody drives past a purple light and asks who put it up or where they stand on anything else.
