Some Free Things To Do To Clear Your Mind

In the midst of post-hurricane, post-nor'easter stress and power outages, a couple free events to get away from it all.

As the Sachem community still tries to move forward from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, everyone can use a little respite. The past week and a half of long gas lines, crashing ATMs, power outages and cooped up children can take its toll on the mind. Why not get away from the phone calls to LIPA or the insurance company and enjoy some free events being offered in the area?

Here's a short list of some free events for the whole family to enjoy
