Reports on recent Singles Outreach activities:

 
 


Frear Park  (Nov.'09):

 

Frear Park in Troy on Nov. 8, 2009 provided a great place for nine Autumn Walkers to get terrific exercise as we rambled up and down the golf course paths and hills. Although some of us afterward added back the calories burned on the walk, we had fun talking and enjoying our lunch at a Brunswick diner.


Watervliet Shaker Site:

 

The Watervliet Shaker Site provided eight History and Art Fans with a fascinating guided walking tour of the original Shaker settlement, right in our own backyard.

We toured the museum, and walked the grounds to see a number of buildings, a Shaker cemetery where the founder Ann Lee is buried, an herb garden, and to learn about the Shaker’s unique single lifestyle. We then had a tasty lunch and socialized at the Shaker Shed.

 


 

Tang Museum (Nov. '09):

 

Seventeen History and Arts Fans enjoyed a guided tour of the Hudson Quadricentennial exhibit at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs on Nov. 14, 2009. Paintings, artifacts, ephemera, and sound recordings were on display to add a very different perspective to our understanding of the Hudson River and its exploration. We also viewed the Tang’s other unique exhibits of modern sculptures and paintings. Afterward, the group gathered at the Old Bryant Inn for socializing and great food.

Vrooman’s Nose Hike (Nov. 09):

 

We had a nice fall day - and Potluck dinner. The great part was that I made it to the top, Yeah! Thank you Sue for the adventure.

WEST POINT (Oct. 09):

 

Went to West Point with about 15 others to see the Army football game. Highlights, I’d say, were tailgate party - everyone pitching in with food and drink (scrumpdelicious!); game was “one for the ages”with freakish plays throughout, especially toward the end (Kathy- Are you now a BIG fan?); ended the day with dinner at Torches Restaurant on the Hudson River (excellent food, great scenery).

Thanks to drivers and to Maureen for arranging the trip.

Berkshire Museum (Dec. '09):

 

History and Art Fans journeyed to the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, MA on Dec. 5, 2009 to see the Festival of Trees. Six participants saw a beautiful and creative display of Christmas trees decorated in silver themes that celebrated the Museum’s silver anniversary. Before our delicious Christmas lunch at Jimmy’s Italian restaurant, there was also time to see the aquarium and the natural history and art exhibits in that interesting Museum.

 


 

The Real World (Nov. '09):

 

The topic was "Understanding The Signals".  Through a lively discussion, both men and women shared their thoughts and ultimately gained some insight into the hidden meanings of signals that we consciously and unconsciously send to one another.

NYC Trip (Oct. '09):

 

A big Thank You to Tony for allowing 16 of us to take a bite out of the Big Apple!

The day was beautiful as we toured Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral (I did pray for all of you!), Ground Zero, and the South Street Seaport. We also enjoyed delicious Chinese food in China Town.

Watch for a trip in May to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge!

Rollins Pond Camping Trip (Aug. '09):  

 

Twenty-two Singles Outreach campers, paddlers and friends endured and enjoyed a variety of weather conditions at the Rollins Pond State Campsite. Activities included paddling, hiking, biking, swimming, trips to the “Wild Museum”, shopping, more paddling, “pot luck suppers”, campfires, relaxing and more.

A good time was had by all . . . only a few bee stings and sore muscles to report. Thanks to everyone for joining in to make this a great outing!
