SUMMARY:Local Veteran and Military Mom MyLinh Shattan Presents 'Raising Athena'
DESCRIPTION:This is a singular\, first-of-its-kind memoir about a mother and daughter\, modern warriors in an era of global strife. Mothers who want to raise strong daughters will find this engaging\, not only how to survive and thrive at West Point\, but anywhere: on the athletic field\, in the classroom\, in the boardroom\, and in life. This is not a how-to manual\, but a personal story of two women who felt called to the profession of arms. \nMyLinh Shattan explores the sense of duty that helped found the nation and offers a rare look inside a new military tradition\, one passed from mother to daughter. RAISING ATHENA\, A Mother and Daughter Attend West Point Thirty Years Apart traces what compels a woman—and then her daughter—to answer the call. Watching her daughter follow in her footsteps\, MyLinh searches for answers. \nWhy does anyone join the military?\nWhat’s changed for women in the past three decades?\nWhat hasn’t?\nWeaving together history\, philosophy\, and intimate personal narrative – from Homer to Thich Nhat Hanh – this memoir speaks to every reader who has wrestled with fear\, guilt\, and meaning.  \nMyLinh Brewster Shattan wrote for the Tampa Tribune\, taught in college\, and managed human resources. In the Army\, she had the great privilege to lead U.S. soldiers at the end of the Cold War in a reunified Germany. In the twelfth class at West Point that admitted women\, she was a Cadet Captain and Captain of the Women’s Track Team. \nShe holds a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from Queens University and a Master in Business Administration from Florida Southern College. She has a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Systems Engineering from the United States Military Academy\, West Point. \nMarried to her West Point classmate; all three of their children graduated from West Point and serve in the U.S. Army. \n

SUMMARY:Blueprints & Denim Dreams\, A Night of Fundraising (Gala)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable evening in your finest denim as we come together to celebrate the power of home and the impact we can make as a community. \nThroughout the night\, you’ll hear from one of our newest family\, Carolyn and Rashad\, who will share how having a safe\, stable home will forever change the life of their autistic daughter and strengthen their family’s future. It’s a powerful reminder of why this work matters and the real lives behind every home we build\, renovate\, or repair. \nWe are also proud to recognize our 2026 Builder of Hope Honoree\, Lisa Weisenberger. As the founder of Discover Danbury & Candlewood Lake\, Lisa has created a local networking and community engagement group that brings people together\, supports local businesses\, elevates nonprofit organizations\, and inspires meaningful community involvement.

Housatonic Habitat families participate in financial wellness and homeownership education designed to help them build strong financial foundations\, prepare for the responsibilities of homeownership\, and achieve long-term stability for generations to come. \nReserve your seat\, secure a sponsorship\, place a program ad\, or donate an auction item\, and be part of building something far more than just a house. \nWhen: Thursday\, October 1\, 2026\, at 6:00 PM \nWhere: Le Chateau\, 1410 Old Post Road (Route 35)\, South Salem\, NY 10590 \nEvening Includes: Cocktail Hour • Seated Dinner • Live & Silent Auctions • Inspiring Stories \nAnd don’t forget to come dressed in your best denim! \nVisit HHFHGALA.givesmart.com for Tickets or Sponsorships! \n

DESCRIPTION:This ‘Archtober’\, four founders — Francine Houben (Mecanoo)\, Dorte Mandrup (Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter)\, Sharon Prince (Grace Farms\, Grace Farms Tea & Coffee)\, and Julia Gamolina (Madame Architect) share dynamic perspectives to inspire greater connection with our irreplaceable planet and people through architecture. Moderated by Julia Gamolina\, Editor-in-Chief at Madame Architect\, the panel will explore visual examples of materiality\, sustainability\, and the diverse beauty of our global landscape\, set at peak fall foliage at Grace Farms. \nHear Dorte Mandrup describe the way she designed the Ilulissat Icefjord Centre\, a climate visitor center on Greenland’s rugged coastal landscape\, with a lightweight form akin to “a snowy owl’s flight through the landscape\,” with spaces beneath the building for wildlife habitat. \nLearn about Francine Houben‘s approach to designing Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi in the Saadiyat Cultural District\, which resonates with natural rock formations\, reflecting the museum’s goal of improving understanding of and engagement with the natural world. \nAnd hear Sharon Prince describe how Grace Farms becomes part of the landscape and her approach to creating a building that becomes part of a local and global context for 100 years and more. Learn about projects Prince is spearheading through Design for Freedom research and Pilot Projects that embed values of human dignity into space. \nAt Grace Farms\, this dialogue about the way space communicates continues year-round through architecture programming that invites deeper engagement\, including an upcoming documentary film\, weekly Architecture Tours of the River building and Barns\, school tours by our Education Team\, and the annual Design for Freedom Summit\, which brings together industry leaders to address forced labor in the building materials supply chain\, next held on March 31\, 2027. \n

Explore the River building and its unique glass walls\, intended by SANAA to dissolve boundaries between people and the natural world\, and explore the many other places on site where tea is a communal part of dialogue and reflection. \nThis program is developed in collaboration with the International House of Japan and American Friends of the International House of Japan. \n
