Tuesday's Children hosted another amazing fishing experience for the families of Tuesday's Children!  On August 11, 2010, Tuesday's Children had a boat full of over twenty families that caught Fluke and Bluefish to keep as well as Crabs, a Spanish Macrel, Star Fish, Sea Robins and Sea Bass!  The fishing trip was aboard the Taryn-Ann Charter Fishing boat out of the Captree State Boat Basin in Babylon, NY. 

 

Captain John and the crew of the Taryn-Ann made the day possible through their generosity, as well as the "Send a Kid Fishing Program" through Fred at Long Island Fishing Magazine.  One of the family members said "Thanks again for the fishing trip on the Taryn Ann yesterday. My kids enjoyed it and the staff on the boat was soooo good and patient with them." 

 

Thank you to Captain John, Fred, Timmy, Christian, Kevin, Pat and Brian for another exciting trip!"

 

 

The Center for Science Teaching and Learning in Rockville Centre, NY hosted Tuesday's Children on July 30th, 2010.  The program included a live animal show with a bunny, turtle, gecko and more, a nature hike through the ground of the Tanglewood Preserve as well as a tour through the zoo.  Families enjoyed dinner together at the venue and learned about science in a fun and interactive way!

 

Tuesday's Children was offered tickets to the NY Sportimes Tennis Center as guests for opening night on July 5th, 2010.  Several Tuesday's Children 9/11 Responders and registered families attended the event.  Willie Cantres, a 9/11 Responder, was asked to hit the first serve on behalf of Tuesday's Children.  Elizabeth at NY Sportimes said, "It was such a joy to have Mr. Cantres here. Everyone enjoyed his presence greatly!" 

Thanks to Elizabeth and her team for forming such an amazing partnership with Tuesday's Children.  We look forward to many more tennis matches supporting NY Sportimes!

ZenithOptimedia hosted children registered with Tuesday's Children for a job experience day at their NYC offices on June 26th, 2010.  Ten children, ages 8-16, came together to learn about business etiquette, internship options, career possibilities and interview skills.  Each child got a tour and had the opportunity to have an agency overview of ZenithOptimedia; part of the world's largest media service group. 

The team at ZenithOptimedia, including Angela, Amelia, Jessica, Allan, Mike, Jenna, Henali and Leila, put together a program that was created for the Tuesday's Children group with videos, an agency reel and talks given by the team.  Special thanks to Amelia, a valued Take Our Children to Work Day contact, as well as Leila for putting together the day!
