“We’re not prima donnas we promise!”

Don’t rush through your summer Hot Teas — or your prepodcast primping! Sharon and Stacy are keeping it real this week and promise they’re not being prima donnas.

We’re in full SWING mode here at Discover Long Island as our team preps for the Ryder Cup coming to Long Island next month! And while we hate to mention winter, planning is officially underway for our 2025 Tourism Awards Gala!

This week, the ladies dive into some Long Island-inspired reads, spotlight iconic local landmarks, and feature another amazing local in our Show Us Your Long Islander segment.

Have a story we should share? Don’t forget to write in — we’d love to hear from you!

#ShowUsYourLongIslander

Today’s shoutout goes to Michael Rabinowitz of Amityville — a Long Islander turning personal loss into community impact. After losing his mom Barbara to Alzheimer’s, Michael partnered with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America and former State Senator Chuck Fuschilio to open the Barbara Rabinowitz Education & Resource Center — the first-of-its-kind on Long Island. The center offers support for both Alzheimer’s patients and their families, with unique features like a travel training room (complete with real LIRR and airplane seats), plus memory games, karaoke, sensory bingo, and more. Through his foundation, Michael’s long supported causes like MS and special needs — and now, he’s helping thousands of local families navigate dementia with dignity and care. Cheers to you, Michael — a true Long Islander making a real difference.
