NARROWSBURG, NY — Veterans in the Upper Delaware River Valley and Sullivan County, NY can participate in a free life-enhancing two-day workshop led by Lee Zlotoff, creator of the classic television program “MacGyver” and author of “The MacGyver Secret.” The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5 at the Narrowsburg Union.

Each day will include three one-hour sessions with breaks. The building is handicapped accessible and there is ample parking. 

The workshop introduces veterans to the MacGyver Secret. This is not therapy. It is a practical tool to tap into one’s “Inner MacGyver” to solve creative, technical or personal problems—using nothing more than a pen and paper. Its goal is to give participants easy access to their hidden capabilities. And no one is required to speak or share about themselves, so everyone’s privacy is respected.

“My Dad was a WWII vet and, though it wasn’t called that back then, he struggled with acute PTSD, and I wish he had a tool like this to help him—and my family—to deal with all that,” Zlotoff said.

Co-sponsoring the event are Kathy and Brendan Weiden, owners of the Narrowsburg Union, a repurposed former public school that’s now a mixed-use commercial property and event space that also offers cultural and community services and activities.

In addition to complimentary light breakfasts and lunches each day, participants will have the chance to win a free American flag wall sculpture created and donated by Damascus resident Jeff Dexter.

A flag Dexter designed to commemorate graduates of the Narrowsburg School who served is on permanent display in the history gallery of the Union.

Registration is required and is limited to 25 people. For more information and to register, visit www.narrowsburgunion.com/new-products/veterans-workshop or call 845/252.3100.
