On the 80th anniversary of the iconic Sherman tank that spearhead ed America’s liberation of Europe during World War II, the Museum of American Armor is seeking to honor those veterans who crewed these leg endary vehicles. The Armor Museum has put out an “All Points Bulletin” for Sherman tank veterans to join the Armor Museum in observing the milestone anniversary this coming Veterans Day by participating in an oral histo ries project that memorializes their experiences.ArmorMuseum’s founder and president, Lawrence Kadish, stated, “The Armor Museum continues to offer a powerful presentation that keeps alive the legacy of our nation’s military and the gift of freedom they have given all of us. The Sherman tank is an important part of that story and we are asking tanker vet erans to come forward and help us preserve their legacy.”

3 20222,Septemberriday,F

In recognition of its considerable importance, the Armor Museum’s acquisition of a Sherman tank was one of the first actions undertaken by Mr. Kadish when he undertook the creation of the museum. “You can’t effectively tell the story of American courage during World War II without this particular tank on operational display,” observed Mr. Kadish. Some 50,000 Sherman tanks were built by nearly a dozen different manufacturers during World War II, making them available to the Allies as well as American forces fighting in Europe and the Pacific. While not as well armed as its German oppo nents, the Sherman proved to be reli able, relatively fast, and produced in great numbers. As combat evolved during the conflict American tankers changed their tactics to confront and defeat the enemy’s superior armor.

I march myself from the Princesse Royal, the ship that has been my floating hotel for the eightday BoatBikeTours’ Bruges to Amsterdam bike trip the few steps from where we are docked to the free ferry to Amsterdam’s Central Station and into Amsterdam’s his toric city center and on to the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. The level of service, luxury and elegance in this five-star hotel makes you feel you are staying in a palace, and frankly, it was, as I soon learn on the hotel’s daily tour. I always seek out historic hotels when I travel because they tend to be so much more interesting, so con nected to place, so full of personality, character and yes, authenticity, but rarely have I stayed in a hotel that played such an integral role in a nation’s history. A hotel only since 1992, the orig inal buildings and tower that have been repurposed for The Grand were built in 1411 and actually were two convents – one on the northern side and one on the southern side, with canals on both. In 1578, with the success of William of Orange’s revolt against Catholic Spain, Protestantism swept the Netherlands and Amsterdam. The two convents were given to the city. The northern side was empty for a time, but the southern build ing became the Royal residence –the Princenhof (still the name). The Maria de’ Medici, Queen of France, and William of Orange himself stayed here at some point. In 1652, after a fire at Dam Square destroyed the building where the Council met, they moved into the northern part of the building, which served as the Council Chamber for three years until Dam Square was renovated (the room is still set up as a Council Chamber). In 1655, the powerful Dutch East India Trading Company made this their headquarters. The company, which set up trade, exploration and colonization around the globe, func tioned as a military power, govern ment, and even agricultural pro ducer and helped make this small nation a global power, from 1602 to 1800. (A little research reveals the Dutch had an advantage in resourc es because they were on the cutting edge of capitalism. The Dutch East India Company had a more success ful strategy because of sound money, an efficient tax system and a system of public debt by which the govern ment could borrow from its citizens at low interest rates.

van Amstel. The others depict dike constructors, fishermen, floral pat terns, symbols of trade, education and jurisdiction. There are three crosses of Amsterdam symbolizing fire (a lot of fires afflicted the city); water (the city is below sea level) and plague (to show respect for people). In 1925, the Wedding Chamber was painted with a most magnificent Art Deco series of murals that our guide, Donna van der Heul, of guest relations, relates, tell the story of a couple who meets, are seduced in a sneaky way (symbolized by a snake), stay true, meet each other (there is a little flame between their legs), become engaged (the flame becomes bigger), a wedding show ing the happy couple. Another panel shows the couple with a child with a flame of her own, and another panel shows them as an old couple, still together. (We have to rush through the chamber because a wedding is getting underway shortly). We visit the Council Chamber (which looks like parliament). Princess Beatrix and Prince Klaus were married here (the present king’s parents) in 1966 and you can see a photo of their wedding. We visit the beautifully decorated Oriole Garden Bistro where there is a mural that was painted in 1949 when the building was City Hall. Titled, “Inquisitive Children,” by artist Karel Appel, it depicts beg ging, crying children, with sad eyes, in the aftermath of World War II’s human destruction. “The Council Staff thought it would make people feel uncomfortable so they put it

You need to get a handle on your true expenses, starting with absolute essen tials. I can predict some of them for you: shelter, food, insurance, gasoline. You may have other essential expenses if you have arrived at your first job dragging a load of debt behind you, in which case you need to consider your student loan payment and credit card payment as es sential expenses.

If you cannot become someone’s room mate (or several roommates to keep your expenses way low), consider moving back home for a while, if they will have you. Take it from me, the parent of adult chil dren: If you come home with a grateful spirit, do your own laundry, clean up af ter yourself, carry your weight in house hold chores, act pleasantly, help with meals and do nice things for your parents -- you will be welcomed with open arms.

Amendment 13 (1865):

The above quote is the preamble to the Constitution of the United States. Every American, particularly those who vote, should read it (at least once). It is the basic instrument of our govern ment and the law of the land. In terms of history, the Constitution was drafted by/at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and ratified by 2/3 of the states (as provided in the Constitution and became effective in 1789).

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States …”

Amendment 16 (1913):

Amendment 21 (1933):

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived …” Ouch!!

“The 18th article of the amendment to the Constitution is hereby repealed.” Amendment 26 (1971):

Amendment 14 (1968):

“The right of citizens of the United States who are 18 years of age or older to vote shall not be denied or abridged…” Exit the objectivity of the above mate rial. Enter my take on the Constitution. I believe the intent of the framers was to protect the rights of the people, and not the government and/or elected officials. Unfortunately, most officials and some of the Justices have chosen to ignore the intent and instead reinterpret many of the laws of the land. The framers obvi ously were concerned that an expand ed government would encroach upon the rights of individuals. An objective review of the Constitution clearly indi cates their concern that government expansion would adversely affect the rights of individuals. How lucky we are to be Americans. As I noted at the top, everyone should take the time to read our Constitution. It is a brilliant document that has for tunately and understandably withstood the test of time.

BY LOU THEODORE

The Constitution provided for a national government of three inde pendent branches: executive, judicial, and legislature. One of the conflicts that arose at that time concerned the makeup of the legislature. The dispute was resolved by the so-called Great Compromise, establishing the present arrangement whereby the states are equally represented in the Senate while the House of Representatives is repre sented in proportion to their popula tions.The Constitution was signed by 39 delegates (a great trivia question). I recognized only four signatures: Ben Franklin (PA), Alexander Hamilton (NY), James Madison (VA), and George Washington (VA). The ratification pro cess brought on intense debate and con flict. This was resolved when it was agreed to amend the Constitution with the inclusion of a Bill of Rights. A total of 42 amendments were proposed but were subsequently reduced to 12. Two (2) failed ratification and the remaining became the first 10 amendments, today referred to as the aforementioned Bill of Rights. Unquestionably, these were major and significant additions to pre vent government abridgement and to insure the fundamental rights of indi viduals.Here is what I would consider some of the key amendments. Read #10 care fully.

A: As I’ve explained in this column, the family maximum rules do not ap ply to married couples. And there is no “marriage penalty” associated with So cial Security. You mentioned a wife be ing limited to half of her husband’s Social Security. That would be a wife who does not have her own Social Security benefit, or who has a very small benefit on her own record and is therefore eligible to receive a dependent wife’s benefit from her husband’s account. Those spousal benefits are limited to the 50% rate, but you and your wife are each getting your own retirement benefit: $3,444 for you and $3,100 for your wife. So combined, you will get $6,544 in monthly Social Se curity benefits.

So, here is the message of this col umn: The family maximum rules do not apply to a husband and wife getting So cial Security benefits all by themselves. These maximum rules only come into play when children are involved. That usually means cases involving children getting benefits on a deceased parent’s account. Or it can mean limiting benefits to families of someone getting Social Se curity disability benefits. But it also can occasionally apply to retirees who still have minor children at home. When this does happen, it’s frequently because a retiree has an adult child who has been disabled since birth. But again, the focus of today’s column is the scenario of a husband and wife with no minor or disabled adult children at home. And to repeat, the family maximum rules do not apply to them. Here are ques tions from readers about this issue.

CORRECTION TO MY BOOK: Before I finish out this discussion of family maximum confusion, I’ve got to correct an error I discovered about this topic in my little Social Security guide book called “Social Security: Simple and Smart.” In the “Benefits for Children” chapter of that book, when discussing the family maximum, I gave an example where a retiree took reduced benefits at 62 so that his teenage daughters could claim benefits on his record. And I said that it was his reduced benefit that gets figured into the family maximum com putation. But actually, it is his full ben efit rate that is used, even though he’s getting a reduced amount. But still, the message of this column remains the same. When we are talking about just a husband and wife getting benefits, the family maximum never comes into play. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the an swers. It’s called “Social Security: Simple and Smart.” You can find the book at www. creators.com/books, or look for it on Amazon or other book COPYRIGHToutlets.2022

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Q: My wife and I both plan to take our benefits at age 70 at the end of the year. I am estimated to get $3,444 per month and my wife will get $3,100. But there are two things we’ve heard about Social Security that scare us. We’ve been told there is some kind of maximum that applies to what we will be able to receive, and we’ve also been told there is a marriage penalty with Social Security that limits what my wife can get to one-half of my benefit rate. Please help us understand this.

BY TOM MARGENAU

A: No adjustments will be needed. Any benefits paid to an ex-wife are just “add-on” benefits. They don’t affect the benefits you and your current wife are due, and they also don’t affect this family maximum business.

A: Don’t worry. As I said in the be ginning of this column, this family max imum stuff doesn’t affect a husband and wife getting benefits. You’ll note the rule book section your accountant sent you refers to a “PIA.” That stands for “prima ry insurance amount,” which is essen tially your full retirement age amount. That amount can never be more than a 100% rate. You are going to get a high er monthly benefit amount (up to 32% more) because you are delaying filing for Social Security until age 70. But your PIA remains at that 100% rate. Your wife is going to get a 50% rate. So, the most a husband and dependent wife can get in basic (PIA) combined ben efits is 150%. (His 100% PIA rate and her 50% spousal rate.) And that 150% rate does not exceed the lowest family max rate (which is 150%), so a husband and wife can never be subject to the family maximum.

“RULES FOR RETIREMENT AND SURVIVOR BENEFITS

Q: I am waiting until age 70 to take my Social Security so that I will get 132% of my Social Security benefit. Then my wife, who was a homemak er all her life, will file on my record and she will get 50% of my benefit. So combined, we will get 182% of my Social Security benefit. Our accoun tant said that will be a problem for us because Social Security rules set the family maximum at somewhere between 150% and 188% of my benefit rate. The actual percentage depends on factors I don’t quite understand. The accountant sent me this clipping from what he said is the Social Secu rity rulebook.

Q: I am taking my benefits at full retirement age. I am married to a woman who hasn’t worked very much, so she is going to be getting half of my Social Security. But I also have an ex-wife who hasn’t remar ried and didn’t work very much ei ther, so she will be getting half of my Social Security, too. So, I’m going to get 100%, my wife will get 50% and my ex will also get 50%. That’s 200% combined and that exceeds what I’ve been told is the 150% maximum that can be paid to my family. So how do they make these adjustments to get down to the 150% rate?

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY Family Maximum Doesn’t Apply to Couples Answers on page 2

I frequently get questions from soonto-be retirees who have heard about a “family maximum” that applies to Social Security benefits, and they are afraid that rule will reduce the benefits they are due as a couple.

The family maximum formula for Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) benefits is based on a benefi ciary’s primary insurance amount (PIA). The PIA is a beneficiary’s basic Social Security benefit amount before adjustments for retirement age, earn ings, and other factors. SSA calculates the family maximum using a formula. Ultimately, that formula yields a max imum for each family that is between 150% and 188% of the worker’s basic Social Security benefit, or PIA.” So according to my accountant and this rulebook entry, if our fami ly maximum ends up being less than 182%, they are somehow going to cut our benefits. So now I’m really wor ried. Why bother waiting until 70 to get increased benefits if they are just going to reduce our checks because of this family maximum business?”

However, they predict prices will continue to increase over the next year except in the follow ing cities according to Realtor.Com ana lyzing its 200 major Metropolitan areas in June, that had the highest percent age of listings with price reductions: Reno, Nevada, Austin, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona and Anchorage, Alaska, Boise, ID, Ogden, Ut, Sacramento, Ca, Colorado Springs, Co, Evansville, IN, and Medford, Or. In Boise, Idaho, home prices increased 53% from Dec. 19-Dec. 21 to $485,000 according to Redfin’s analysis of mortgage data. Prices rose 48% in Austin, Texas, and Cape Coral, Florida. Considerably lower pric es will occur in those markets where homes are over-valued. However, as incomes rose, and rates increased the sleepy towns that became extremely hot during the Pandemic and are now being affected by much higher interest rates and unsustainable price growth causing a slowing demand. If you are looking to purchase in any of those states, waiting might be your smartest and most advantageous strategy.

In another study, the towns that had been most affected and slowed the quickest, as per Redfin, were similar, such as Boise, Austin, Cape Coral, Phoenix, North Port, Florida, and Tacoma, Washington. However, if a more severe recession were to occur (we are in a slight recession currently based on the first 2 quarters of 2022 of negative GDP), then Boise, Idaho, Cape Coral, North Port, west Palm Beach, Miami, Stockton, California, and Salt Lake City are among the 25 housing mar kets that are more susceptible to price reductions. However, due to the higher incomes of individuals and families in those areas, prices probably wouldn’t crash but will see slight reductions. If inventory were to become as high as it was in 2008, then we could see market crashes similar to back then. Legislators in Washington must have received sufficient and cru cial information from a multitude of experts and analytical service compa nies. I think that they were careful not to further affect the real estate mar ket with their new regulations. The profound effect that the doubling of interest rates had on curbing our seri ous inflation issues was sufficient to really change the profile of our crazy and insane real estate market. This had to be done, as increased legislation negatively affecting real estate would have created an even greater, more tenuous, and negative environment for buyers and sellers. Although real estate has been an instrumental factor in causing our inflation, I believe it has had more positive effects in increasing one’s wealth than negative ones. When one buys a home they then begin to purchase goods and services which is a plus for our economy as 70% of it com prises consumer spending. According to CNBC research, 42% of homeowner’s equity wealth has increased by the end of 2021. The profit on a typical home sale in 2021 was a little more than $94,000 an increase of 45% from 2020 and 71% higher profits from the period prior to the Pandemic. Usable equity in one’s home grew by 2.6 trillion in 2021 to a monumental total of 9.9 tril lion. However, an excessive amount of money was freely given out during the Pandemic, sometimes to the wrong individuals and companies, causing greater inflation (higher stock prices) and supply chain shortages from the lack of employees across the supply chain, shortage of raw materials and bottlenecks, cyber-attacks and also weather-related events too. We should hope for a soft landing, but there are so many variables in the mix it’s anyone’s guess how it will all end up.

REAL ESTATE WATCH

to Forbes (forbes.com) magazine article on August 4th and Moody’s Analytics, the financial intel ligence service has predicted that hous ing prices will likely shift in 414 regional housing markets throughout the U.S. between the 4th quarter of 2022 and the 4th quarter of 2024. Of those markets, Moody’s Analytics predicts 204 of them see increases in prices, over that time period, probably due to extremely low availabili ty of homes and I believe more stable interest rates. According to CoreLogic, a data analytics service company prices increased in June by 18.3% year over year, which had the 125th consecutive month of year-overyear increases. However, it was less than the previous 2 months due to higher interest rates, causing slowing demand and concerns over the econo my and most likely families and indi viduals’ worries over their own per sonal finances.

Political climate, legislation and interest rates’ affect on real estate

In conclusion, quite possibly the most valuable aspect of your education was that part about learning to live on next to nothing, figuring out how to scrape by. You may need to do that for a few more years as you get your financial bearings. As a bonus, you’ll find financial freedom while you are still young.

The Inflation Reduction Act (H.R. 5376), introduced by Senators Chuck Schumer, (D-NY) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) was passed by both houses of Congress and signed by President Biden on August 16. It became a com promise for the much larger Build Back Better plan, which was introduced to assist in fighting inflation, increased climate/global warming, and certain medical cost issues. One of the key issues was having all corporations pay a minimum of 15% income tax. This is good news for homeowners who might have previously been concerned about additional income taxes or possibly the loss or change in our interest deduction on primary and secondary home mort gages (within certain limitations, ask your CPA), (reduced from $1,000,000 to $750,000 through 2025 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) which has been the most popular deduction. It should also have very little or no effect on REITs or small-scale devel opers. Other benefits are clean energy credits from your utilities and further massive tax rebates on the installation of solar and renewable energy, commu nity solar, and wind farms. This will also enhance homeownership and real estate investment going forward while reducing energy costs which dramati cally increased in 2022. However, there is a huge problem that the legislation hasn’t addressed, the historically low housing supply affecting American families. Higher interest rates cause higher costs reduc ing the incentive for building multifam ily units, also placing more restrictive and higher energy code requirements and inflated labor costs have slowed things down. Currently, when the U.S needs more housing, and with the higher financing costs, the market has cooled off substantially in many states, and developers and builders are being much more careful as has been docu mented by fewer building permits lead ing to a reduction in new construction. This is something that should absolute ly be addressed immediately in order to keep us out of a more severe and debilitating recession to accommodate those qualified buyers who need and want to Accordingown.

“So, there are some exclusions in the coverage for the trip insurance I’m con sidering for our winter vacation,” I said to my husband. I had been researching trip insurance for our winter vacation and thought I’d found the best one. But there were some caveats. “Are they reasonable?” he wondered. “They’re actually... a little strange.” “Strange?” he repeated. “Strange how?”“Well, there is no coverage if you fall into a sinkhole. Also, there’s no cover age if you are injured while robbing a ventriloquist.”“Willthey cover you if you are injured while robbing a mime?” he said. “Unclear,” I replied. “OK, so no sinkholes and no rob bing dummies,” he said. “That’s not so strange.”“Also, you are covered for the loss of a thumb, but not a big toe. You are covered if you lose both hands but not one hand. Both feet but not one foot. But you would be covered if you lost one hand and one foot and the sight of one“That’seye.” very specific,” he said. “What if you lose a nose?” “There’s nothing in here about noses.”“Then we should assume that you are covered if you lose a nose?” “Apparently noses are covered.” “Well, that’s nothing to sneeze at,” he Isaid.shook my head. “There’s more,” I said. “You are not covered for any loss incurred in the event of a hurricane, tornado, earth quake, wildfire, monsoon, Armageddon or zombie apocalypse. But you are cov ered if you stumble into a prehistoric tar“Well,pit.” that’s a relief, since we will definitely want to go on vacation where there will be a lot of tar pits,” he said. “I thought so, too,” I replied. “Anything else?” he wondered. “You’re not covered in the event of falling space debris including satellites, comets, meteors, asteroids, moon frag ments and interplanetary spacecraft,” I told“Whathim.if I get kidnapped by aliens?” “It voids the coverage if you leave the planet,” I said. “Makes sense,” he said. “Also, you are covered if you are attacked by a chicken, but not a wolf, a bear, a wombat or a dodo.” “Aren’t dodos extinct?” he said. “I guess they’re not sure, so they put it in there,” I replied. “OK, so let me make sure I have this straight,” he said. “We don’t want to visit any places where we may lose a big toe, rob a ventriloquist, fall into a sink hole, get captured by aliens, get caught in a zombie apocalypse or get attacked by an extinct dodo.” “That’s about it.” “That’s too bad,” he said. “That is exactly the place I wanted to go on vacation.”“Me,too,” I agreed. “What if we take the sinkhole off the table?”“Then the options are endless.”

Constipation is one of those sub jects we usually only discuss with close friends. But if you suffer from it, you’re not alone. Some 63 million Americans experience the inability to empty their bowels regularly. Having three or fewer bowel movements a week is an indicator of constipation. Left unresolved, it can lead to discomfort and pain, as well as the development of hemorrhoids. While there may be many causes of constipation (like stress and medica tions), diet can play a huge role. Higherfiber foods help a lot. Here are several higher-fiber foods to try. No. 1: Whole-wheat or rye bread. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that people experiencing consti pation who consumed rye bread daily had improvements in bowel movement frequency compared with those who ate white bread. Simply put, added fiber helps form your stools, adding weight to help move stools through your system. No. 2: Dried plums (prunes). A study in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition discovered that healthy adults with reported infrequent stool habits and low amounts of dietary fiber experienced increased stool weight and frequency by consuming about eight dried plums daily.No. 3: Sauerkraut and yogurt. Having more good bacteria in our digestive systems through fermented foods and yogurt can help promote regular bowel movements. A study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming rye bread with yogurt helped relieve gastrointestinal complaints. No. 4: Chia and flaxseeds. These tiny seeds are good sources of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber increases stool water con tent resulting in bulky, soft and easyto-pass stools. You can sprinkle flax or chia on cereal or oatmeal, add to yogurt or a smoothie or top a muffin with them. No. 5: Water. When we are dehydrat ed, our large intestine cannot provide enough water to properly form stools, which leads to hard stools and consti pation. It’s important to drink plenty of water when adding fiber to our diets. Foods like watermelon and cantaloupe, soup and vegetables also help with hydration.Thebottom line is constipation isn’t something you have to live with. Add fruits, vegetables, seeds, whole grains, fermented foods, yogurt and water to make a difference.

LOST IN SUBURBIA

I am often asked if it’s possible to lose weight and eat well at the same time. My answer: Of course it is! It may take a few alterations and a willingness to try some new things, but it’s certainly doable. Here’s a recipe for blueberry muffins from “The Mayo Clinic Diet” that allows you to have a guilt-free muf fin. Pair it with some scrambled eggs or a carton of yogurt in the morning or with a salad at lunch.

1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup fresh blueberries

Per muffin: 134 calories; 3 grams pro tein; 21 grams carbohydrate; 4.5 grams fat; 23 milligrams cholesterol; 1.5 grams fiber; 231 milligrams sodium.

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

Q and A Q: Why is the mineral phosphorus needed and what foods is it found in? A: Phosphorus is an essential min eral with an impressive range of func tions, so eating a range of phospho rus-rich foods is incredibly important for overall health. It plays an important role in the formation of strong bones and teeth. It also is a key element of cell membranes and helps to activate enzymes, keeping blood pH within a normal range. We need healthy blood pH levels to maintain our respiratory and circulatory systems. Phosphorusrich foods include dairy (cottage cheese, milk, yogurt), poultry, eggs, legumes (chickpeas, lentils), nuts, seeds (sun flower seeds) and red meat (pork, beef). The recommended daily intake for adults is 700 milligrams.

Girl Scouts of Nassau County recent ly hosted an exciting day of gooey, choc olatey, campfire activities for more than 100 Girl Scouts in honor of National S'mores Day. Girl Scouts took part in several exciting activities, learned how to build their own campfires and crafted their own s'more recipes. The event was part of Girl Scouts of Nassau County's ongoing efforts to bring togeth er the community and empower Girl Scouts with fun, educational and deli cious experiences.“NationalS’mores Day is a chance for the Girl Scouts to contribute to an experience that combines important les sons like campfire safety with the joy of celebrating the s’mores recipe – which is rooted in Girl Scout history. This is one of the many outdoor programs we have to offer for girls to earn badges,” said Randell Bynum, the chief execu tive officer of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County.The annual Girl Scout tradition commemorates National S’mores Day, which has a unique and special mean ing to the Girl Scouts. The origin of the s’more can be traced back to the Girl Scouts in 1927. The s’more recipe was first recorded in an official Girl Scout publication from Troop Leader Loretta Scott Crew in 1927. Every year, Girl Scouts honor how the s’more became a staple of campfire comradery and changed the game when it comes to snacking.Inaddition to enjoying the delicious snack and learning about campfire safe ty and campfire building, Girl Scouts also visited different stations where they discovered the art of fireside sto rytelling and crafted s’mores themed SWAPs (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere). The small pins are traditionally exchanged between Girl Scouts to celebrate friend ship and shared experiences. National S’mores Day is one of many opportunities offered to Girl Scouts throughout the year to help them learn life skills, work together with their peers, contribute to their community and make the world a better place. For more information about Girl Scouts of Nassau County and the many events they hold things they learn throughout the year, visit gsnc.org.

Lily of Girl Scout Troop 3053 in Levittown and her mother Rebecca learned how to safely construct and ignite a campfire during a lesson with volunteer Valencia.
