WITCHES AND WARLOCKS Local witches and warlocks hopped on their broomsticks and headed to Main Street in Northport! The night was filled with SPOOKtacular fun, shopping and spirits! The following week, everyone flew over to Locust Valley for round two. We were so happy to support the incredible businesses that were involved!
WE’RE STILL GROWING! We celebrated the grand openings of our beautiful new Miller Place and Wantagh offices. Signature is now an official part of these wonderful communities and is looking forward to growing our family.
NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY
We wore rainbow ribbons on National Coming Out Day to show our support for a cause we are proud to be a part of! Signature is and will always be a safe place for everyone.

MAKING KINDNESS THE NORM We’re challenging ourselves to make the world a better place with a little bit of kindness, and we hope you will too. We are pledging to perform Random Acts of Kindness and cause a chain reaction. Our Smithtown office visited the Ronald McDonald House to bring pumpkin decorating to the children, and our Rockville Centre, Floral Park, and Garden City offices dropped off treats and notes as a thank you to local first responders. To show our support as a company, we all wore blue on World Kindness Day. Take the pledge today at SignatureActsOfKindness.org
