“I joined August '22, dealing with lingering pain, spasms, and PTSD from ~20 years of Lyme disease that was misdiagnosed till 2016. I was sleeping 5-6 hours a night, depressed, not sure how I could survive another 6-12 months of harsh recovery. Therapy wasn't helping, and I needed relief from my stress and anxious thoughts. Long Island Meditation helped me find that.Even though I still had to deal with the same recovery process for my body, I was finally able to get rid of stressful thoughts and haunting images and feelings that seemed to follow me like a curse. I sleep 7-8 hours.Unlike other meditation methods that offer vague exercises and visualizations, Long Island Meditation teaches a regimented method that any student can follow and achieve enlightenment. It's a simple process that works naturally for everyone.Now my body is finally feeling healthier, and I am so grateful to be able to enjoy the improvements in my life moving forward, instead of being caught up in the past. Life seems happier, and even answers to big questions seem accessible. I've been studying different spiritual modalities for decades, and I'm the most grateful that this method came into my life.Sound too good to be true? One way to find out. Why not give it a try?”

“I found this meditation spot after searching for a peaceful place to quiet my mind, and it has exceeded all expectations. The environment is serene and perfect for anyone looking to find some inner peace. It's made a significant positive impact on my life, offering a space where I can truly relax and recharge. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a bit of calm in the chaos. It's a place that benefits everyone, no matter your experience with meditation.”

“Tracey is the go-to person when you want to talk about student loans. She and her team gives you different resources on how to consolidate loans. She would come up with a strategy that will be less of a financial burden especially with the current climate of the world and inflation.”

“So happy we found St Marks Nursery School. My son spent two summers going to camp there and was enrolled in the three and fours program. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. Fun, loving, energetic personalities that keep the kids always wanting to learn. They learn through play, reading, interactive activities and field trips and so much more. There is a music class that they all attend which is amazing, where the kids are so involved and having fun. The playground is a very special place as well. Because it is a co-op, parents are very involved which really gives it that family/community feel. Participations days at the school are a highlight for me. I love being in class with my kids seeing what they do and getting to spend time with them there. We’ve met some amazing friends while at St Marks which was so nice since we were new to the area. My oldest is now in kindergarten and excelling. I know it’s because of the experience he had at St Marks. My daughter is now in the 3s program and thriving and making friends and having a blast. So happy she still has this coming summer and next year so we can continue to be a part of the St Marks family.”

“Had a 70th birthday surprise party here and it was perfect! We booked this location for the inside/outside combo and it did not disappoint. We paid to have use of the outdoor area/bar (TV included for Sunday Football!) and had a band play. The tents outside were big enough to hold guests under during a brief rain and the grass area was amazing for the kids to run around and play. Linda was very easy to communicate with and our guests are still talking about how great it was.”

“I really love this place. The owners, staff are really friendly and personable. The layout is great inside. There is constant turnover of items from Little knick-knacks to old antique furniture. They have a nice collection of durable medical equipment such as shower chairs, two benches, raised toilet seats, walkers etc. I highly recommend a visit to this great place.”

“This place is run by angles on earth, they take care of as many people as humanly possible they clothes and feed anyone in need and this world is a better place for having the Long Island trading post friends and family is spreading the world with take care of your neibor s and anyone that is in need attitude. God bless us all xoxo”

“The authentic care and endless support of Pink Cans 4 Cancer (PC4C) is unmatched! As a breast cancer advocate since 2004, I was not prepared for my 2021 diagnosis. As I attended numerous doctors appointments and learning of the rocky road ahead I sought solice in knowing I had the support of PC4C /Tony. As a natural nurturer he knows just how to lean in with the right amount of TLC. The outpour of phone calls, text messages and meals not only fed my family as I underwent surgery it ushered in a sense of peace which allowed me to heal. I can not express my gratitude for such a phenomenal support you have been. I now look forward to the newly paved path ahead as I continue to recover and embrace my new normal. #PC4C❤ #IvyStronger”

“I sterilized Ami kitten in this place, the price is very reasonable, they gave her to me the same day and she was super good with her wound, there was almost no blood and I didn't have to go back to remove the stitches, they dissolved on their own after two days, she was as if nothing was wrong. Of course, she had her recovery gown and a lot of care on my part. I feel that the staff did this with a lot of love since she had a very quick recovery. I thank them and I definitely recommend it.”

“I wanted to take a moment to express my utmost satisfaction with the exceptional service and excellence provided by your team, particularly Jay Marquez and Tim Howe.I have been working closely with them for some time now, and I am consistently impressed by the level of dedication and professionalism they bring to every project.

Spectrum Designs is not only a reliable partner for my printing requirements but also a wonderful cause that I am proud to support.Looking forward to many more successful projects together! Thank you for your commitment to excellence.”

“BYP is awesome! NHP Memorial has been lucky enough to work with them for the past 3 years doing our Centre Stage productions. Sarah, Emily, Ellen, and Erin are fantastic. They are kind, warm, understanding, patient, and fun. They understand how to let every student shine and their positivity radiates throughout everyone. The absolute best!!”

“Book giving service with tons of help and super friendly people. They offer free books to nfp and schools. We were able to get books for an upcoming Juneteenth event. So grateful for their offering.”

“My whole family including myself love this place! It was our first time and we are so amazed at all the details! There are also some interactive ones where you can move objects with a press of a button! And not to mention the folks who are there - they are all so kind, sweet and wonderful! We got there right when they opened and it was pretty crowded already but you are allowed to stay as long as you want. Once we left, there was a line formed outside. So it can get busy! And just FYI, there is a restroom/bathroom there.”

“Great experiece with customer service over the phone. I was looking to donate some incontinence supplies today.I was informed what BBBS does and does not accept (no open packages) I made arrangements for a pick-up, was told how to label and where to leave my donations.I was also told that I will receive a reminder call prior to my pick-up date”

“Love the Experience Vineyard Church. Found the church on google and I thanked the Lord for guiding me here. Pastor Ray is very down to earth and welcomed me on my first visit two weeks ago. I also felt spiritually embraced by the music and band. The people are warm and friendly and seeing a smile directed at me makes my whole day. Thank you, Jesus.”

“Long ago, I volunteered at the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center in Port Washington, where I played the piano for the elderly. The center was dedicated to enriching their lives through various programs, and the staff there treated everyone with genuine care and warmth. My time volunteering was always uplifting, thanks to the positive environment created by both the staff and the residents.”

“Stan is phenomenal! He's very knowledgeable and professional. I will be having all future events here. Bar and the whole place is very clean. Has a very nice outside with TV with tables and benches.”

“I'm VERY biased... But as a long time employee I can honestly vouch for the services that they bestow to clients and; nearly as important--the employees who are THE BEST in the business...(Amazing services for the Senior population as well♡)”

“Pal-O-Mine Equestrian and The Theresa Foundation go back a very long way....I had the distinct privilege of being one of their first honorees over 20 years ago. We have had a beautiful relationship since then. The Foundation has consistently supported our children with disabilities year after year by providing scholarships to them. These scholarships allowed hundreds of children to attend equine classes at Pal-O-Mine and as a result these children have thrived. Collaboration in the not for profit world is of the utmost importance, especially on Long Island, and we are honored to be one of the Foundation's grant recipients for all these years.”

“I love the school and staff they are so awesome with the children when on our way recommended this school for my son I was like cool can't wait to check it out. The staff are so welcoming the pay attention to each in every child that's there, My son went their for speech therapy etc my son couldn't speak a full sentence now he speaks clearly full sentences just put it this way I am very grateful in satisfied with everything they have taught my son and also care for him in I Im very upset that they are closing and I want to definitely do something about it.Carolyn”

“Two of my children attended this wonderful program. It is outstanding. It is an extremely warm and nurturing environment. The staff are licensed and experienced. The facility is very clean and safe for children, the classrooms have a lot of natural light with large windows in each room, and are also very spacious. The class sizes are small. I loved that there was an American teacher as well as an Israeli teacher in each class. My children learned a lot of basic Hebrew as well as the English curriculum. The art program and after school programs were excellent. The playground area is large and clean. Additionally, I loved the large, bright interior space that the children play in when there is inclement weather. My children loved going to "school" each day. They both have maintained friendships with the children that they met in preschool.(I have an older child who went to another program as we lived in a different area at the time. I thought my older one went to a great program. However, after experiencing the two programs, I recognized special and unique qualities of the SRJC ECC.)”
