Pre-Ryder Cup Giggles

This week on the Long Island Tea Podcast, Sharon and Stacy are kicking off the fall season with all the tea and no, it's not pumpkin spice just yet! They’re joined in-studio by Meredith Michaels of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island to talk about mentorship, the power of giving back, and exciting events happening this season. Plus, they’re breaking down all things fall on Long Island — from apple picking and pumpkin parks to porch makeovers and fishing trips. Don’t miss our #ThisWeekendOnLongIsland lineup featuring free music festivals and country fair fun, ChariTEA news from the Long Island Children’s Museum, and the inside scoop on where to watch the Ryder Cup like a true Long Islander.

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

This week, we’re spotlighting Meredith Michaels, Chief Development & Marketing Officer at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island. The organization has been creating one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth for over 45 years.

BBBSLI is hosting two Ferrari Car Shows this fall on October 4 and October 26 — fun, family-friendly events that support their mentorship programs. BBBSLI is always looking for new mentors. Meredith shares what being a "Big" really means and how you can get involved. Want to support BBBSLI? Visit bbbsli.org to learn more about volunteering, donating, or attending an event.
