In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Saturday Night Live enjoyed a renaissance thanks to a brand-new cast that rivaled the original Not Ready for Primetime Players. Three of these megastars descend on the MGM Grand Theater’s stage for an evening of blockbusting comedy.

Dana Carvey

A master impressionist, Dana Carvey cemented his reputation with a spot-on impersonation of George H.W. Bush. His presidential mimicry lives on today, as most recently seen in a Funny or Die video. Befitting his chameleon-like nature, Carvey has a habit of popping up in unexpected places, from a voice on Fairly Odd Parents to guest-hosting on Live with Kelly and Michael.

Dennis Miller

When Dennis Miller says, “I don’t want to go off on a rant here,” fans know to strap themselves in for one of his signature diatribes. From hosting Weekend Update to his Emmy Award-winning HBO series and titular radio show, Miller’s referential and acid-tongued philippics have left legions of devotees howling as they reach for their thesauruses. In his live standup act, the performer unleashes his rapier wit and signature verbosity upon modern times, proving why Comedy Central voted him one of the “100 Greatest Standups of All Time.”

Kevin Nealon

Like Dennis Miller, Kevin Nealon’s best known role on Saturday Night Live was behind the desk at Weekend Update. But the versatile actor devised his fair share of memorable characters as well. To this day, audiences guffaw at his incongruous asides as Mr. Subliminal. Most recently, Nealon got a whole new crowd of TV viewers rolling on the floor as Doug Wilson on Showtime’s Weeds.

Spacious Rooms, Aveda Spa, and Fine-Dining Restaurant on Charming Grounds

In the early 1900s, Vermont governor Allen Miller Fletcher staked out a hill in the Green Mountains to build a castle-like resort. The area he picked is like something out of a winter fairy tale, tucked into the woods near Okemo Mountain. The area is called Castle Hill, and it’s where you’ll find The Pointe Hotel at Castle Hill Resort & Spa. The modern hotel shares its property with some of Fletcher’s original Cotswolds-style buildings and gorgeous gardens, which earned the resort a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Its location makes it a convenient spot to explore the region’s covered bridges, the Okemo Valley, President Calvin Coolidge’s homestead, and Okemo State Forest.

The brick-accented Pointe Hotel is spacious and comfortable, with facilities that put the focus on fitness and wellness. Recently remodeled guest rooms emphasize plush comfort. At the Aveda Concept spa, you can relax with massages, facials, and body wraps. The resort’s sunlit pavilion, lined with windows on both the walls and ceiling, makes for a soothing setting to take a yoga or Pilates class. For breakfast and dinner, head to the opulent wood-paneled dining room, where executive chef Alphonsus Harris uses fresh local produce to craft French-influenced dishes.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic: Miles of White-Sand Beaches

When Christopher Columbus landed on the Dominican Republic more than five centuries ago, he described it as "a beautiful island paradise." Punta Cana, located on the island's easternmost tip, lays legitimate claim to that description. The coast stretches for more than 20 miles and is dotted with coconut palms, chaise lounges, and laid-back bars. Glitzy resorts feature prominently along the shoreline, but Playa El Cortecito, a short drive up the coast, harks back to earlier times. Brightly colored, thatched-roof shacks line the beach, and local fishermen bring their boats to shore each afternoon with the day's catch.

Centuries-Old Estate in Eastern Connecticut’s Pastoral Countryside

The Inn at Woodstock Hill resides in northeast Connecticut’s Quiet Corner, a pastoral region that's known as one of the last green valleys on the heavily urbanized northern East Coast. Open fields, rolling hills, and working dairy farms surround the inn’s massive clapboard house, which was built by one of Woodstock’s earliest settlers in 1816. Even as the house approaches its 200th birthday, it’s been kept up-to-date with renovations, additions, and restorations.

Inside, antique furnishings mingle with brightly colored walls, beautiful wallpapers, and worldly touches such as an Egyptian-tile fireplace in the living room. In the kitchen, the chef crafts traditional New England dinners. Saffron lobster bisque seasoned with fresh cream and brandy, crab-stuffed trout wrapped in bacon, and other favorites are served in the dining room, where the tables are set with polished silver and candles.

The inn also holds occasional culinary events. Check the calendar for the Stew and Story series, where local storytellers spin yarns while listeners enjoy hearty soups and desserts.

Each of the inn's guest rooms is uniquely decorated. Room 201, painted in a soft rose hue, has one queen four-poster bed and a living room with a fireplace. There are two queen beds in Room 314, which has a sloped ceiling and leafy-print wallpaper.

The Issue: Veterans Facing Mental and Economic Hardship

About 1.4 million veterans are considered at risk for homelessness, due to lack of support networks, poverty, and otherwise dismal living conditions, according to data cited by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. This problem is compounded by the fact that unemployment for post-9/11 veterans remains at 10.9%, well above the national average. Additionally, 44% of returning veterans have reported difficulties ranging from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to depression, making it difficult to hold down a job and support their families.

The Campaign: Building Gardens to Support Veterans

All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by Seeds of Hope to build garden beds at Fisher House locations. Each bed requires six 8-foot-long wood planks ($100), 12 bags of soil ($100), six seed packets ($20), weed barriers ($10), plus nails, brackets, and screws ($18). For every $250 raised, Seeds of Hope can purchase all the materials needed to build one garden bed. Each Seeds of Hope garden typically contains two beds.

At Fisher Houses across the country, which are generally located near VA hospitals, Seeds of Hope partners Girl Scouts with veterans and their families. Together, they plant, maintain, and harvest crops at their homemade gardens, providing 50 pounds of produce each year for the veterans and the families and an educational experience for the girls. Gardening also provides a soothing pastime for veterans with PTSD. Seeds of Hope ultimately hopes to build gardens in 10 different states by the end of this year.
