Join Stacy and Sandy for our first post-COVID Planning Meeting!
Have you ever wondered where all of our fabulous events come from? We rely on a committed and talented group of our members who volunteer to lead. In addition to just a shout out of "Hey, I want to lead this", we have traditionally held planning meetings 3 or 4 times a year. We would get together at a member's home, public park, library, or other meeting space to learn about Women Outdoors, meet members (and potential new members), and plan our events/outings for the next 3 to 4 months. And of course, there is always good food and lots of fun. All of you are welcome, especially for this, our first planning meeting since January, 2020.
We have an expanded agenda:
- For our newer members, we'll have a short introduction to this organization called Women Outdoors, that you've joined.
- Get to know new members, and reconnect with old friends.
- Now that we are getting more fully back out in the outdoors, let's discuss the new rules that we would want to see for Women Outdoors and the Finger Lakes region.
- Review our region finances.
- Discuss ideas for a Finger Lakes memorial for our dear-departed Anna DeSousa.
- Plan some wonderful summer events for our region.
We then get reward ourselves with lunch. We will be providing hamburgers and hot-dogs (including plant-based) for the grill. Please bring a dish to share. We'll also have water and sparkling flavored water. If you'd like something else to drink, please bring your own.
And for those interested, we invite you to tour Sage-Thyme Gardens, at the private home of Sandy and Pat. You will walk among perennial beds, a rock garden, and an extensive herb garden.
Bring:
- A side dish or dessert to pass and optionally something else to grill if you don’t want what we'll be grilling (see registration).
- Your trip ideas, calendar, and appetite.
- A mask - as it may be needed outside, and we request that you wear one when entering our house.
- Recommended: an insect repellent that works on ticks, suntan lotion, hat.
- Optional: camera, something else to drink, lawn chair.
We have a large collection of chairs, but we might not have enough. We'll let you know before the event if we need more chairs.
