By Cristen Feeney

July 28-August 3

As much as we may try to forget, we’re in August already. If you haven’t done much to embrace your fun-loving side this summer, there’s not much time left! Try some these activities around Smithtown this week to help you feel as if you’ve had a productive summer.

July 28 in Stony Brook Village Center, the “Save A Pet Dog” Showcase is happening. You can help give loving homes to dogs that are in need of a family. All dogs are abandoned or homeless. Adopting a dog is a summer event that will make you feel good about doing something for a pet in need, and will always give you something to do for years to come.

Have you ever wanted to see a psychic or a medium, but the cost is too high? On July 28 at the Summerland Church of Light in Hauppauge, you can get a 15 minute reading for  just $20. To make sure you have a spot at the event, you can email  HYPERLINK “mailto:info@summerlandchurchoflight.com” info@summerlandchurchoflight.com

 From July 29-August 2, American Jiu Jitsu in St. James is hosting their Self Defense Summer Camp. If you or your child is between the ages of 7 and 14,you register for a week of fun. Jiu Jitsu is a way to get some energy out, while doing something that is good for your body, and may be helpful to you in the future.

On July 30, the Smithtown Youth Bureau is continuing with their Safe Summer Nights program at Hoyt Farm. If you have a child that is of middle school or high school age, encourage them to participate in this drug and alcohol free night of fun! It is a supervised way for kids to have fun with their friends while you can ensure that they are safe from harm. It is also a way for high school juniors and seniors to volunteer to get involved in their community, and receive community service credits.

July 31 is a great day to start a new exercise routine. You will have another month of the summer to keep it up so that when the fall starts up, you are in great shape for those days of apple and pumpkin picking. Yoga is a great way to get in shape without having to run outside in the summer heat. YogaFlex in Commack is one of the few Yoga Studios that will allow you to pay per class. It is just $20 per class, and they have a variety of classes for beginners and old-timers alike. Fore more information, visit  HYPERLINK “http://www.yogaflexny.com/” http://www.yogaflexny.com/

 On Saturday August 3, at 8PM, jazz-cabaret vocalist, Jane Monheit is putting on a concert at CM Performing Arts Center in Oakdale. It is a great opportunity to expand your taste in music without having to go very far. The tickets are $45, whereas if you were to go into the city to see a similar show, you would most-likely pay upwards of $100. It will be a fun night of great music.
