“It was such an amazing experience. Everyone was nice and accommodating. Lisa and United Ways, thank you for making this weekend possible. It's something I will never forget. The horticulture class is relaxing and so hands-on. It was a perfect experience. Yoga and Reiki were my first time, and it was such a spiritual experience. Jenny's writing workshop was my first, and I loved it so much. I learned a lot. Thank you all for this perfect time with all of you. As a woman veteran, thank you for helping me find myself. There are so many workshops and things to do here that it was eye-opening.”
“Wonderful place! Took the kids on during the week as a walk in. The owner and staff were kind and helpful. Throughly enjoyed the experience. So many different projects to choose from.”

“Just taking a minute to leave this review because I just hung up with customer service and they really were so pleasant to deal with. It was nothing major. I just needed help with a service. But I got the nicest woman on the phone and she explained some of the benefits to me. At first, I didn't want to get involved but I am so glad I did. The people that I've met make it well worth it. Thanks.”
“Very wonderful place needed a sit down walker after repeated surgery and walked out with one as soon as back on my feet will return for someone else to use wonderful people there Thank You”

The last race was Great. The 5 and 6 horses were neck and neck for a long time. Screaming was audible for miles!
Great company, food,and laughter.
Thank you to all the Elks,especially Rick and Sandy. Great job!”

“Such an amazing place! My daughter has been so happy here. The teachers treat my daughter as if she was there own and she cannot wait to go back every day. She has learned so much, and they were so helpful with the transition process. Very interactive including several field trips, guest speakers, events and more! I cannot recommend this place enough. Over the summer my daughter has not stopped talking about going back to school and every time we pass the building she asks to go to school.”
“Seatuck is a group of caring, knowledgeable people working to maintain Long Island's natural beauty and wildlife. What's not to love about that?! There is a thread of authenticity that runs through each member of this group that binds them together to create a formidable force. I'm impressed with their selflessness, competence and most importantly, results! Please help them save our amazing island and its inhabitants [wild or otherwise!!].”

“Our family raised 6 seeing eye dogs. It was such a rewarding experience for the whole family. To see the puppy you held in your arms "graduate" and go on to lead a blind person around the world from subway stations to airplanes. We always mentioned that the directors, Mrs and Mr Beagle were so helpful with our first retriever puppy.”
“This Y has very nice updates. The workout room is very clean with new machines. The pool is very nice and clean. Also the people that work there are very friendly. I was enjoying a Zumba class but I won't be doing it again. I was dancing, an older woman came in around ten minutes late and kept inching closer. All I said was, could you please move over. I was actually called aside at the next class by the teacher and Despina said something seeing it on the camera. I was in no way rude. Interesting how they automatically said something to me and not to her, arriving late also. Gee I wonder why. ? Despina blocked me on Facebook, (also Rachel). I had messaged Despina and then realized I'm blocked. I don't know what her problem is. She knows me and used to be very friendly. I also might not do your 5k next year and I've done it every year. Who cares right? Smh”
“We made a great sofa purchase, along with home accessories, recently at Society of St. Vincent de Paul Long Island's thrift store in Huntington. We fell in love with the sofa's look and comfort -- and the great price. We were so pleased that we've returned again today for an additional sofa purchase. Our sales rep, Michelle, was fantastic.”
