College Prep Seminars
Tuesday's Children conducted three seminars focusing on the college prep experience for 9/11 families and 9/11 Responders. The seminars, lead by noted college prep expert Noreen Cambria, were held on April 28th, May 19th and June 23rd at the CW Post campus.
Seminars answered questions such as "How do I pay for college?", "Where should I apply?", "What are colleges looking for?" and so many more. Each seminar was well received and gave valuable information to the parents and the children about this sometimes challenging endeavor.
One parent told us "You give food for constant thought, so I have learned so much" and another said "You are incredibly informative; wonderful delivery; so optimistic". Each participant in the seminars has been offered the opportunity to have an individualized session with Noreen.

Sunday, June 27th was the 2nd Annual 9/11 Responder Family Fishing Trip. The trip was on the Taryn-Ann Charter Fishing Boat that docks at the Captree State Park Boat Basin.
The group included children that had never been on the boat as well as advanced fisherman. Dozens of fish were caught and a few were big enough to keep! 9/11 Responders had the opportunity to catch fluke and sea bass as well as a a few crabs and sea robins.
With the support and guidance of the crew of the Taryn-Ann, including Captain Steve, Tim, Zach, Pat, Christian and Kevin, the day was a huge success! Special thanks to everyone who got up early to be part of this amazing day of fishing with friends!

Marine 1 Event
Thursday, June 25th 2009; Tuesday's Children was invited as a special guest of the FDNY to ride on Marine 1 around the Hudson River.
Captain Richard Johnson sailed us on a leisurely cruise to see the Statue of Liberty.
Both Tuesday's Children families as well as families within the Rescue and Recovery population were thrilled to have one of the sunniest days this month to enjoy each other's company and to see the sites of NYC harbor.
Special thanks to John Churcher for arranging the event and to Lt. Zodawic, Lt. LaClair and Cpt. Johnson for all their efforts and making this once in a lifetime experience happen. |
First Responder Alliance's 2nd Family Day
Tuesday's Children's First Responder Alliance hosted the 2nd Family Day at CW Post Campus on June 12th, 2010 for 9/11 Responders and their families.
The event had programming for the entire family including nutrition, stress management, anger management and more. The day was focused around family cohesion and fun with a BBQ and an interactive family game show!
George Martin, the former Giants player and 9/11 Responders advocate, joined everyone for the BBQ and applauded each 9/11 Responder for their efforts. 
A 9/11 Responder said "Everyone showed their true dedication to Tuesday's Children, and I think it comes to being one of the best events we have participated in ever. My family really enjoyed the entire day and we all learned some really valuable information. We learned how to ook up some really delicious meals for our family, how to relax when the going gets tough, and how to more effectively parent our children. One of the best moments was meeting others that had gone through the same situation we went through, and what we continue to go through every day."
Special thanks to Jay and Michele who conducted an interactive family game show as well as volunteers Melissa, Ben, Carla and Jessica for all their efforts!
