HARBORFEST 2011, SUNDAY, JUNE 5th!

PORT WASHINGTON HARBORFEST -- Come for the Festival !
This Sunday, June 5th, is the annual HarborFest in Port Washington! Right on the water, at the dock on lower Main Street, next to Louie's there will be lots of fun things to do for the whole family, so bring everybody and spread the word. There are lots of boats; there are some pirates; there's a ton of yummy, yummy food from local restaurants who have moved onto the dock for the day; there are street vendors selling their wares; there are many arts-and-craft goings-on; but most prevalent is FUN! It's from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M., so there's plenty of time to see everything. There's even live music!

Hear the sounds; see, feel, and smell the salty air and water; and taste any number of delightful eats and drinks. You can also enjoy the Wells Fargo stage coach ride and the model boat regatta -- or take a cruise -- or bring a blanket or chair and just relax. No matter how you choose to spend your day at the fair, be confident that you, your friends, and your family will all have a great and enjoyable time! Don't forget the sunscreen!

You can park close in the surrounding neighborhood. Better yet, park at the Port Washington train station and take the shuttle bus or trolley the few blocks down the hill to the dock. All parking is free on Sunday, as are the shuttle buses and trolleys. Even take the LIRR to Port Washington, then hop a shuttle or trolley to the Fest. There are also shuttles operating from Manorhaven Park on Manorhaven Boulevard, if you want to park there.

Stop by the Cow Bay Business Network (CBBN) booth to find out how to join Port Washington's local networking group, CBBN, and see my ducks -- the Aflac variety and maybe a few others. I'll be glad to give you some information on Aflac programs -- to help you and your family through tough times -- and answer questions you may have. I will be at the booth on and off all day, and information will be at the booth at all times.

Just spread the word, and come and ENJOY ! ! !

Aflac Online Radio Broadcast, Thursday, February 10, 2001 at 11:00 A.M. EST

Join us for an interview with Kevin Gallagher and Kenn Schubach of Aflac. They were sponsors for Pattie's Peeps October Breast Cancer Event. Aflac has a very good program for cancer coverage as well as other good plans that they will discuss.

According to Harvard University, illness and injury are one of the major causes of bankruptcy. The average person living paycheck to paycheck does not have the financial resources to pay their regular household expenses when an unplanned health event strikes. While everyone knows “the duck,” few people know that Aflac's supplemental benefits pay cash directly to the policyholder and can be used to pay their rent or mortgage, the electric bill, cell phone bill, and any other expenses that the family needs to be paid. We look forward to speaking with Kenn and Kevin on this timely subject. Mildred M. Tassone, Pattie's Peeps information coordinator will host this segment. Look them up: Facebook.com/pattiespeeps.

Go here for the show on Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 11:00 A.M. EST.

Aflac has you under their wing.

HARBORFEST 2010, SUNDAY, JUNE 6th!

PORT WASHINGTON HARBORFEST -- Come for the Festival !
This Sunday, June 6th, is the annual HarborFest in Port Washington! It's right on the water, at the dock on lower Main Street. There will be lots of fun things to do for the whole family, so bring everybody and spread the word. There are large ships; there are some pirates; there's a ton of yummy, yummy food from local restaurants who have moved onto the dock for the day; there are street vendors selling their wares; there are many arts-and-craft goings-on; but most prevalent is FUN! It's from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M., so there's plenty of time to see everything. You will even be able to hear stuff, too, because there will be music to round out all of your senses.

Hear the sounds; see, feel, and smell the salty air and water; and taste any number of delightful eats and drinks. You can also enjoy the Wells Fargo stage coach ride and the model boat regatta -- or take a cruise on the tall ship SoundWaters, an eighty-foot, three-masted schooner (pictured), for a small charge -- or bring a blanket and just relax. No matter how you choose to spend your day at the fair, be confident that you, your friends, and your family will all have a great and enjoyable time!

Come early so you can park close. Better yet, park at the train station and take the shuttle bus or trolley the few blocks down the hill to the dock. All parking is free on Sunday, as are the shuttle buses and trolleys. Even take the LIRR to Port Washington, then hop a shuttle or trolley to the Fest. There are also shuttles operating from Manorhaven Park, if you want to park there.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! BBQ, EAT, DRINK, AND PLAY!

Another end of May brings with it another Memorial Day. Remember those who have given so much for the United States, up to and including their lives. Say a prayer, have silent thoughts, and honor all of the men and women who have protected and still protect you and our country.
_____________________________

Remember also to eat wisely when you BBQ. Sure, have the franks and ribs, but throw some veggies on the grill, too. YUM! Get out and enjoy this great time of year. Play some whiffle ball, break out the frisbee; did someone say tennis?
Always keep in mind to play it safe and look forward to keeping you and your family protected. No one knows when something could happen to those you love. If you need to discuss how I can help, contact me to discuss any of the Aflac programs that can assist you and your family when times get tough.

Cancer Is No Answer. Fight It and Protect Yourself.

I have been telling you all about the various ways to help fight cancer and to remain cancer free. The problem, of course, seems that no matter what we do, exercise, eat healthy foods in small portions, meditate to unstress, and numerous other techniques to battle one of the worse human problems of all time, there is no 100% way to keep from getting cancer. People have gotten cancer before they were 10 -- and after they were 90. Even fit people in their 20s and 30s can get cancer.

There are ways to live that are known to reduce the risks of certain cancers (like not smoking to lower the risk of throat and lung cancer). Eat healthier foods, nosh on some fruits and veggies in between the T-bone and the rib eye. Make your own fresh foods more often than eating out at the fast food places (which are all too available).

Of course, it's a bit challenging, but you do actually feel better. Work your way up to it and don't necessarily jump right in, like: "For my first exercise, I have signed up for the New York Marathon." More realistically, jog around a block or two a few times a week, then build on that. And always ask your doctor's opinion before beginning any food and/or exercise programs.

As for a more pragmatic source of protection, remember that Aflac offers a specified cancer policy, which is very affordable and pays you cash -- over and above any other coverage that you may already have. Unfortunately, cancer hits without any discrimination. Aflac knows that this is a family's nightmare, and we all probably know someone close who has had cancer; I certainly do. You can use your own doctors, too! I would like to talk with you if you are interested, and, if you employ people, I can also be of assistance to you and your employees -- with no cost to the employer. Please contact me at 646-522-7912 or through this blog. Aflac policies help people in need every day. I use them myself. Stay healthy!

Eat Well to Build Up Your Immunity and for Better Health

This spring, give yourself added protection from any cold or flu bugs going around, even some allergies. Eat more of these foods to build up your immunity. Keep in mind the suggested daily servings in the USDA's food pyramid above and note these suggestions from Healthy Eats:

1) Nuts. Snack on almonds, cashews, or walnuts, which are packed with vitamin E. This antioxidant helps kick those pesky free-radicals out of your body. Vitamin E also helps create antibodies that fight bacteria that make you sick. Other healthy vitamin E-rich foods are seeds and whole grains. Try salt-free, they're still yummy!

2) Citrus Fruits. The famous vitamin C helps fight infection and it's a good antioxidant to have — along with vitamin E. But there is more to citrus than just oranges and grapefruits — clementines, lemons, limes, and tangerines are all part of this family, and they’re usually found in most supermarkets all year long. Citrus not your thing? Try bell peppers — they have more vitamin C than an orange! Potatoes, tomatoes, and kiwis are also great sources of this helpful vitamin.

3) Shrimp. So you’ve heard shrimp has cholesterol, but it’s also extremely low in fat and contains the antioxidant selenium. Many foods have a combination of nutrients, and you need to weigh the “bad” with the “good.” Selenium is a mineral needed in small amounts and works to support a healthy immune system. Seafood and meat are great sources of it — yum!

4) Yogurt. The probiotics — or “good bacteria” found in yogurt and other foods — keep your digestive system up and running. According to research from the Journal of the American Dietetics Association, consuming foods with probiotics regularly may also help boost your immune system. Sauerkraut, miso, and tempeh are other food sources to try. Get out there and be adventurous.

5) Green Tea. The polyphenols in green tea act as potent antioxidants. Research suggests that catechins, a specific type of polyphenol, may stimulate the immune system cells and hinder disease-promoting compounds. Although you may detect a bitter taste, you can disguise it with a bit of honey. Adding milk is a no-no as it will bind to the polyphenols and stop their immunity benefits.

Immunity Downers. Eating high-fat foods and forgoing your daily fruits and veggies too often can also weaken the immune system. Smokers have an added disadvantage as smoking increases free-radicals, which definitely takes a toll on the immune system (another good reason to quit).

Your best bet is sticking with whole, natural foods.

Protect You and Your Family. The American Family Life Assurance Company, which you probably know as Aflac, has a number of affordable programs to help you and your family through the hard times in your lives. I can help you choose plans that would be a good fit for you, whether you wanted life insurance, or cancer or hospitalization policies. So please contact me by e-mail through this site or by phone: 646-522-7912. Adding Aflac will not affect any coverage that you have, but it will give you comfort knowing that if something happens, Aflac is there to pay you cash to make things a little easier.

Stay healthy!
