Long Island Swim School

Long Island Swim School is the teaching arm of the nationally ranked Long Island Aquatic Club. Our Learn to Swim programs create strong, safe, and confident swimmers for life. With locations in Garden City and Syosset we train over 2,000 children each week at every swim level from Beginner to Olympian. Long Island Swim School offers swim lessons for children ages 2 - 14years old. The main emphasis of our programs is to teach children to swim correctly and develop essential water skills in a relaxed environment. Our goal driven and technique oriented approach is the key to your child's success. Through skill based quality teaching our students develop a joy for learning and a passion for swimming. At Long Island Swim School, we teach children to swim the same way the best in the world do. By using age-appropriate, proven techniques children build real skills in kick, pull, body position, and breath control. Our logical, consistent progression turns every fundamental—whether blowing bubbles or learning butterfly timing—into a building block for efficient, confident swimming. Our professional staff are swimmers and coaches with the knowledge to give your child the skills to achieve more than just water safety. We provide the best foundation possible for success. Not every child will dream of Olympic glory, but every child should have the foundation to take them there. Whether the end goal is a competitive journey or a recreational one, whether your child competes in 2044 or they are happy playing in their home pool, the skills they learn at Long Island Swim School will take them as far as their dreams allow.

The Children’s Orchestra Society

Our Mission The Children's Orchestra Society, founded in 1962 by Dr. H.T. Ma, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to "teaching the language of music" to children and teens. Our mission is to cultivate and nurture children and teach them teamwork and life skills through music-learning and performing in orchestral and chamber music settings. Members of COS receive excellent training in classical music and opportunities to perform in concerts with their peers as well as with well-established musicians. A Child Centered Approach This is the core belief of Director Dr. Yeou-Cheng Ma and Music Director Michael Dadap, who have led the Children's Orchestra Society since 1984. In an interview with Causes, Dr. Ma explains, "We have expanded on the 'tailor-made' parts my father used to write so that each child could take part in the group experience, despite differing levels of competence." https://childrensorch.org/

The Next Chapter

Please join me as I share the story behind Denim Wars, a novel of fiction based on a true story—my story—and the fiercely competitive world of Seventh Avenue that I was fortunate enough to experience firsthand.
Set against the backdrop of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Denim Wars takes readers inside one of fashion’s fiercest battles, when three powerhouse brands collided in a high-stakes fight for power, success, and the right to define what “cool” meant to the world.
Showroom rivalries, glossy ad campaigns, young models on the edge of fame, and unforgettable nights at Studio 54 blurred together in a culture where style was currency, ambition was relentless, and risk was the only rule.
I would love to share with you the stories and inspiration behind Denim Wars and talk about what was a very special and exciting time in New York City and the fashion industry.
Please join me for an evening of conversation, book signing, refreshments, and free giveaways. I look forward to meeting you, signing your books, and sharing this story with all of you.
