4/6/2024 Women Guardians Outing | April
Cost: Free
Another Summit hosts outings designed by women guardians, for women guardians, on the 1st Saturday of each month.
For our April Women Guardians Outing you can join our outdoor leaders, Elena and Dawn, on a wildflower-spotting walk at the Stony Kill Environmental Education Center in Fishkill. On this walk, we’ll keep an eye out for some of the native ephemeral wildflowers of New York, such as bloodroot and trillium. Often found blooming from early March to late May — depending on the weather — these gorgeous early-spring blooms only last for a short time, so lets see how many we can spot! We’ll also pause for a picnic lunch by the scenic pasture on Verplanck Ridge.

Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller as a meditation technique to help soldiers, veterans, and survivors of natural disasters, Integrative Restoration (later shortened to iRest) was designed to “help us to integrate emotions, thoughts, and psychology, as well as restore us to our true wellness as human beings.” (Learn more about iRest on our blog.)
Used in military and first responder settings as a top-tier approach to mental health & wellness, iRest is rapidly growing in popularity in our guardian communities. In the words of one of our GR Peer Leaders who is a trauma therapist & social worker and has worked in Law Enforcement & Fire:
“iRest is extremely helpful to relax & very beneficial as a healthy new habit. It’s worth setting aside the time — stop procrastinating & show up. This is one thing you shouldn’t wait to try.”
We hope you’ll join our next iRest Meditation with Annie:

4/9/2024 Mobility for Health
Cost: Free
Mobility for Health Workshop
Semper Stronger cofounders Joel Del Rosario (a Marine) and Rebecca Rouse along with their coaches Samantha and Angela, are passionate about empowering guardians to build physical & mental strength so that you can overcome life’s challenges with confidence.
Mobility is about movement — specifically making sure your joints can easily move with you throughout your daily life. Think: getting up in the morning, taking a flight of stairs, picking things up off the floor — and doing it without pain or difficulty.
According to Harvard Medical School:
Mobility is the foundation for living a healthy and independent life. Mobility comprises all the skills required for everyday living: physical stamina, strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion… [it] also helps us avoid falls and prevent injuries, and allows older adults to live longer on their own. In short, mobility helps you stay “in the game.”
During this session, you will hear information about mobility & movement, the benefits, learn & try a few joint mobilizations, and receive advice on how to incorporate movement into daily life.
Get active, get moving, get healthy!
All G-Connect experiences are free but RSVP is required:

4/16/2024 Writing Workshop
Cost: Free
Writing Workshop
Engage with literature & writing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Some of us think that writing is only for writers — but writing is for all of us.
As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, “I believe we all come into life as writers.” Whether it’s poetry, songwriting, or storytelling, the freedom to express and record through written language is a powerful thing. Join us at one of our writing workshops to discover, create, and express freely on whatever platform suits you best.
Hone your skills through exposure and analysis of fictional and non-fictional literature, as well as learning grammatical tips and tricks. In past workshops, we’ve discussed Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” quote, the concept of “The Road Less Traveled”, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur, a poem by our very own Karl Rohde, and the “Invictus” poem by William Ernest Henley.
The goal is to explore writing as a wellness tool & creative outlet. Mike adjusts each workshop to the participants each time. We hope you’ll join our next session!

4/17/2024 VITAL (veterans integration to academic leadership) Bi-Monthly Social Event
Cost: Free
Attention, student veterans! Leaving the military to pursue your academic dreams comes with various challenges. Just navigating the vast bureaucracy that is the VA while keeping up academically can seem overwhelming enough. Moving to a new city can also leave you feeling disconnected from the deep sense of community we took for granted in the military. VITAL (Veterans Integration to Academic Leaderships) was created to connect student veterans to the services that the VA provides and to connect vets to each other. VITAL can advise student veterans on everything from educational benefits to military disability claims. We help you navigate the VA so that all you have to focus on is your academic success.
VITAL also connects student Vets in NYC, and we currently host Bi-monthly social events open to all student Veterans in the greater NYC area. The events are usually hosted at 1020 Bar (1020 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10025). The next dates are April 3rd and the 17th at 6 pm. Check the newsletter for additional dates and upcoming summer social events. To get in touch with us, email DR B at [email protected]. Be sure to follow us on Instagram at VITALstudentvets

4/18/2024 Factors to Consider When Making the Survivor Benefit Plan Decision
Cost: Free
Date: April 18, 2024 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM ET
National Capital Region Chapter
Join Blue Star Families for the next free Transition Topic Webinar hosted by Navy Mutual.
Factors to Consider When Making the Survivor Benefit Plan Decision
Thursday, April 18th from 6:00-7:00 PM ET via Zoom
The Department of Defense (DoD) Survivor Benefit Plan is a very misunderstood program within DoD. As members approach retirement they routinely ask financial counselors “is SBP a good idea?” The reality is there is no “One Shoe Fits All” answer, and it can be a complicated question to navigate. Whether or not SBP is a good decision depends on many factors including the value of the benefit, personal assets, income needs and more.
This session will explore the questions service members need to ask themselves to understand their unique financial situation and determine if SBP is a good choice for them individually. We will also evaluate tools and calculators that can provide them unbiased information to help them feel confident with their decision and determine the pros and cons of the SBP decision as it applies to them.

4/20/2024-4/21/2024 Fieldcraft 101 | Spring
Cost: Free
Join Another Summit in part 1 of our spring season fieldcraft survival series taking place Saturday, April 20 to Sunday, April 21.
Instructed by Jon Turner — a USMC veteran from Vermont — this 2-part fieldcraft survival series will provide methods to cover basic needs of survival in the wilderness — Shelter, Water, Fire, Food and Tools — by using modern and primitive resources. Each class will highlight multiple approaches to meet these basic needs and there will be several opportunities to test gear in the field.
The 101 course will provide you with a basic understanding of the fundamentals of wilderness survival and the tools and techniques you’ll need to survive. Our corresponding 201 course in June will provide you with a deeper understanding and teach you how to work with fewer resources. If you’re unable to take either of the spring courses, we’re offering them again the fall!
The intent of this series is to build a mindset that increases the capability of survival if confronted with adversity, but to also provide a skillset to work on projects while sitting around the fire at camp which include — containers & utensils, cordage, friction fire sets and traps & triggers. We will also highlight medicinal and functional properties of plants in the region.
Participants are welcome to camp on-site or head home at the end of the day. Class runs from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM each day with a break for lunch. Another Summit is able to provide all the necessary gear for participants who need it.

4/24/2024 Straight Talk: Supporting Mental Health Needs of Military Connected Children
Cost: Free
Children’s mental health is a national crisis. For children in military and veteran families, mental health challenges are compounded by frequent moves, deployments, barriers to care, and other service-related stressors. Military children are also more likely than their civilian peers to experience financial instability, food shortages, or housing instability and to have parents or caregivers who are frontline workers—all of which are risk factors for poor mental health. We’ve pulled together experts who will share about the unique ways they are serving this special population of the military-connected community.

– Host a Community Resource Fair to connect attendees with agencies and services which can help them thrive
– Provide food, music, and entertainment for the whole family
No past building experience is needed, so simply dress comfortably for crafts work. Our team will help you construct the prefabricated kits. We also have supplies available for those who want to help children decorate their new bookshelves. All are welcome!
Spread the word and bring your friends! If you would like to coordinate your group’s or organization’s participation as volunteers, we appreciate the help. For more info, email [email protected].

4/29/2024 iRest Meditation
Cost: Free
iRest Meditation
iRest is a deep meditation practice used worldwide for its positive impact on the mind and body. This practice relieves stress and pain, improves sleep, and helps reset your nervous system.
Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller as a meditation technique to help soldiers, veterans, and survivors of natural disasters, Integrative Restoration (later shortened to iRest) was designed to “help us to integrate emotions, thoughts, and psychology, as well as restore us to our true wellness as human beings.” (Learn more about iRest on our blog.)
Used in military and first responder settings as a top-tier approach to mental health & wellness, iRest is rapidly growing in popularity in our guardian communities. In the words of one of our GR Peer Leaders who is a trauma therapist & social worker and has worked in Law Enforcement & Fire:
“iRest is extremely helpful to relax & very beneficial as a healthy new habit. It’s worth setting aside the time — stop procrastinating & show up. This is one thing you shouldn’t wait to try.”
We hope you’ll join our next iRest Meditation with Annie:
WHEN: Monday, April 29 @ 7:30 pm ET
WHERE: Zoom
Note:
Participate with your camera on or off

5/4/2024 Honor Flight Long Island Takes 46 Veterans To Washington, D.C.
Cost: Free
*Please note that this event is to cheer on the 46 Veterans being taken on that day’s honor flight. There is information below for how Veterans can get on the Honor Flight waiting list*
May 4th Flight Commemorates Nonprofit’s “Over 2000 Veterans Flown” Milestone
Honor Flight Long Island, the iconic volunteer-run Veterans
organization, is proud to announce that our Spring Flight to Washington, D.C. is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024. This flight will take 46 Veterans to visit their military memorials, meet with service branch
representatives, commiserate with fellow Veterans and exchange stories. Honor Flight’s mission is to honor fellow Long Islanders who served in the United States Armed Forces to preserve our freedoms, by providing free, one-day trips so they can visit their D.C. memorials.
In 2005, the first Honor Flight organization was inaugurated by legendary co-founders Earl Morse and Jeff Miller. Since its humble start, over 130 Honor Flight “hubs” have been organized in various states. All told, these hubs have flown over 250,000 Veterans to visit their military memorials in Washington, D.C. The late Chris Cosich of Amagansett, started his own Honor Flight Long Island hub in 2007. With this May 4th flight, Honor Flight Long Island (HFLI) has escorted over 2,000 Long Island Veterans to D.C.
According to Bill Jones, HFLI President, this historic flight represents the nonprofit and all volunteer-run organization’s “Over 2000 Veterans Flown” milestone. “This special milestone flight includes 41 Vietnam War Veterans who will receive long overdue recognition and thanks for their service,” Jones said. “They’ll be accompanied by 5 Korean War Veterans. What this flight really represents is a ‘Big Hug’ to all Veterans from Honor Flight, their families and supporters, who make such flights possible,” Jones
said. He added that newly elected Southampton Supervisor Maria Moore, will serve on this flight as a Guardian. “We’re proud she’s on board. The Town has supported HFLI since its beginning, getting us off the ground and ensuring our success. HFLI will be forever grateful for Southampton’s support,” Jones added.
Thanks to HFLI, these 46 Veterans will take a free, early-morning Southwest flight to Washington, D.C. Departing from Islip MacArthur Airport at 6:00 a.m., Veterans and their Guardians will visit World War II,
Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials, Arlington National Cemetery for a Changing of the Guard, plus a Washington, D.C. bus tour. They’ll return to Islip that evening at 10:55 p.m., for a rousing welcome by the Nassau County Fire Fighters Pipe and Drum Band, plus thunderous applause from hundreds of family, friends and supporters!
Next up is the Veterans Reunion on Saturday, August 3, 2024, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, when HFLI will present each May 4th Veteran with personalized Tribute Journals full of photographs of their day in D.C. In addition, each Veteran will receive a special memento commemorating this history-making achievement. Our great patriotic reunions are always free and open to the public. So, join us as we honor our home-grown heroes!
Veterans! Get on our waiting list for future Honor Flights to Washington, D.C., by clicking on www.honorflightlongisland.org and submitting an application. You’ll fly for free, thanks to donations from across Long Island. You’ll be accompanied by Guardians, able-bodied volunteers who donate $400 (tax deductible) to offset travel costs. Honor Flight has a cohort of volunteers ready to step up for the privilege of escorting our heroes to D.C. Any questions? Please call Jamie Bowden at (631) 702-2423 or

5/11/2024 Ceremony Honors Long Island’s Vietnam War Veterans
Cost: Free
Ceremony Honors Long Island’s Vietnam War Veterans
Long Island’s Vietnam War veterans will receive the Vietnam 50th Anniversary Commemorative Medal in a solemn ceremony signifying the official end of United States involvement in the Vietnam War. Conducted by the Long Island Air and Space Forces Association and hosted by the American Airpower Museum, the ceremony takes place on Saturday, May 11, 2024, starting at 11:30 a.m., and honors 30 local veterans who served in all branches of the U.S. Military during the Vietnam War period.
The United States Department of Defense (DOD) Vietnam 50th Anniversary Commemoration program, has been going on for nine years now (ends at the conclusion of 10 years). The Long Island Air and Space Forces Association (LIAFA) is a DOD 50th Anniversary Commemoration Sponsor. Please visit their web site at https://www.vietnamwar50th.com
Local public officials, as well as the honorees’ families, will be on hand for this historic ceremony. “This special ceremony honors Vietnam veterans who will receive long overdue recognition and thanks for their service” said Fred DiFabio, President of the LIAFA who served in Vietnam. “Honoring our Vietnam Vets with the commemorative medals means a lot to these guys, especially since their families will also be there to bear witness,” DiFabio added.
Conducting the ceremony will be Colonel (ret.) Bill Stratemeier, LIAFA Treasurer, a U.S. Air Force pilot who flew supplies into Vietnam between 1972 and 1974. “Many vets were criticized for their service in Vietnam, but we’re proud to honor them over five decades later,” Stratemeier said. He noted LIAFA began honoring Vietnam veterans with the commemorative medals in 2015. “To date, LIAFA has honored over 1,300 veterans with such medals,” he added.
One of the reasons American Airpower Museum (AAM) was chosen for this ceremony is their exhibits include actual Vietnam era fighter-bomber aircraft that were used during the Vietnam War. Jeff Clyman, AAM President explained: “Our Museum is the ideal site for these veterans and their families to gather, commiserate and reminisce. Please come and applaud our home-grown heroes, show them respect, that we appreciate and honor their service,” he said.
The ceremony will include a Presentation of Colors, Introduction of Distinguished Guests, Dignitary Comments, Presentation of Medals and Singing of God Bless America and the National Anthem. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Band will perform the popular “Armed Forces Salute,” featuring six official melodies of the U.S. Armed Forces: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Forces and the Coast Guard. The program is free and open to the public.
