Mother's Day

 In case you need a gentle reminder, this Sunday, May 8th, is Mother's Day, so if you haven't already secured a gift for Mom, look no further than this posting as we have compiled some great suggestions for you.

There are the typical stand-by gifts, such as plants, flowers, candles and beauty products, but if you really want to honor Mom this year with a gift that is memorable, try giving her something that is not expensive or consumable; something that will not dry up and die and something that you can enjoy together.

  • Make Mom breakfast in bed
  • Clean your room/the house
  • Take Mom for a picnic at Beach 5
  • Take Mom for a family hike behind SHRA or around near-by Roosevelt Island.
  • If Mom likes music, then consider purchasing tickets for this Sunday's Music on the Lake event. 

Date:     Sunday, May 8, 3 p.m.

Music:   Alicia Ward (cello) & Corey McVicar (piano) -- Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Piazzolla & more

Venue:   At the home of Ali & Fay Moghtader - 6204 Lakeview Drive
