Meet new friends groups near Goshen, NY

A super informal group meant to connect humans going through it (whatever it may be). No one is immune to the feeling of loneliness, especially when life gets hard. It can be tough to connect. I propose that we collect together and create together - anything from online gaming, to in person games, to grabbing some coffee together or just going for a walk. Let's cope with our shit together, rather than try to muscle through it alone. The purpose of this group isn't for dating - I think having a no pressure opportunity to connect with people on a human level is so needed and hard to find.

Expand your social life. Find new friends. Feel the joy of gathering with like minded people that want to increase their live's fun factor. You should join if you... Like to dance, or meditate, or play scrabble, or are curious about healthful breathing techniques, or want to sing together, or want to write a play, or act, or write songs or poetry, or play chess, or just want to discuss life in general. We will smile, laugh, feel supported, be together, learn, grow, live a fuller life, and more!

Hello! This group is intended to be a place to make new gay friends. Taking inspiration from a similar group in Queens, we could aim to meet around once a month, usually at a bar somewhere, to grab a drink, socialize, and make new friends. If there is interest we can also plan events to dine out, go hiking, or attend events as a group. Open to ideas! Whether you're new to the area or just looking to make new friends, this group is for you. Join us for events, gatherings, and social networking opportunities. Let's come together to celebrate our diversity, support each other, and have a great time exploring all that the Mid-Hudson Valley has to offer! Open to all ages and genders. The organizer is a 55 year old introvert who values making real friendship connections. So if you are introverted or shy, or feeling unseen because of your age, you will be in good company. We can even plan for introvert outings, 40+ events, etc if there is interest.

This group is affiliated with Sunset Dance Studios, who specialize in providing our group with Dance Parties, Group Classes, Workshops and Private Lessons. The Group is open to All Level Dancers wanting to Come Dance, Relax & Have Fun with Us while Learning & Dancing Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Argentine Tango, Brazilian Zouk, Swing & Hustle. There is no better place here in Warwick that can compare with this opportunity to meet new people, make new friends while dancing. No Membership dues are required to be part of this group.

Our Motto: START AS STRANGERS \~ END AS FRIENDS This group is for you if: * You are 50 & over * You are looking to have fun * Enjoy being around others & are respectful * Tired of going out alone * Looking to make / meet new friends * Looking for events year round VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE upload a current picture of yourself and answer profile questions. This is required so your organizers can recognize you. And answer all the profile questions so we know a little about you and what kind of events we should plan. Since we have so many duplicate names, it’s helpful to add the initial of your last name. If you have ideas for events, PLEASE feel free to message me your suggestions or speak to me about becoming an organizer. Please remember to check the event before leaving for any updates. It’s highly advisable to upload the app, because often times the event may change while it’s happening. And it’s easier to check for updates. Please be prompt to the events you sign up for, out of respect for others. **Be on time or be left behind** Yearly membership $10 which goes towards organizing, running meetup, dues, etc. This will be collected at your second event. **CANCELLATION POLICY** \*\* We request 72 hours notice to cancel \*\* If you have a sudden last minute change of plans, please message me \*\* Your RSVP is VERY IMPORTANT to me. If you cannot make an event that you signed up for, PLEASE change your RSVP. If you accumulate no-shows, I will remove you from the group. Sorry, if you sign up, please show up. Also, a history of no-shows you will be moved to waitlist if event is for limited members. \*\* You are responsible for your own meal tab, which includes tax & 20% tip (even if you leave early). Most restaurants prefer cash. **UNHOSTED Events explained** Since we are a very diversified group, I sometimes will post an “unhosted” event. Please RSVP to these events and attend. This will let others know who is going and who to look for at the event. This will also let me know the interest level and if there is a lot of interest I’ll post more like it and maybe even host (depending on my interest). Which leads me to - who would like to help host events. Also I will show on the event as going, but that’s just so I can monitor the event. For any of our events, please read the Liability Waiver on the Pages tab. All events are at your own risk.

This helps both event hosts keep track of participants and attendees to recognize each other. It's also a safety measure if a participant ever goes missing from the group so we can get help finding you using your photo. This picture does not have to be a passport quality photo but we ask that you refrain from cartoon characters, nature shots with no subject, shots with multiple people of the same gender, shots from behind and shots where your face is mostly covered. Our members feel a lot more comfortable meeting and coordinating rides with real people that they can identify. If your membership is rejected please don't take it personally.

If you wish to bring a guest please have them join the group, RSVP just like any other member and read the trip description and liability waiver. If your guest is on the wait list please message the event host and we will make every effort to accommodate them. This policy insures that guests are aware of the requirements for the trip they wish to participate in and that they agree with our liability waiver. **RSVP ETIQUETTE:** Unless otherwise noted in the event description; we generally request if your plans to attend an event change, that you update your RSVP to "NO" at least 48 hours prior to the event so that members on the waitlist (if applicable) may have sufficient time to plan and take your spot. If you RSVP "YES" to an event and don't show we most likely will just edit your RSVP to didn't go if there are no members on the waitlist. If, however, there are members on the waitlist and you are a "NO SHOW" you will be noted as such. Members that accumulate "NO SHOWS" may not have the same chances of getting off a waitlist as members who are in good standing. Members on the list as "GOING" who have "NO SHOWS" may also be moved to the waitlist at the discretion of the event host to make room for members in good standing. We realize that some folks may sign up to multiple meetups on the same date to try to secure a spot with their friends. If this is the case, please reach out to the event host and we will try to accommodate your friends if/when possible. We once again ask that you please make a final decision within 48 hours unless otherwise noted. **LEAVE NO TRACE** \- When attending our events we ask that you follow these 3 simple rules: \- Please Leave Nothing but Footprints \- Take Nothing but Pictures \- And Waste Nothing but Time Members who don't show a respect for our venues may be asked to leave the group.

I'm not an elite athlete by any means, but I like to get outside and hike and explore new areas -- even places that may require extra effort, stops to suck in some oxygen, and some Motrin for my knees when I'm done. But that's ok, it's the adventure and the people you meet you along the way that makes it all worth it. If you like to hike and participate in other outdoor activities and you're having a hard time finding fellow adventurers your age who still want to get out there, this is the place for you. No one gets left behind ever! No money will be collected. Hikes organized all year round - there's gear for cold weather, hot and humid, rain and snow - though safety will always be a consideration. Sometimes the hard stuff is what makes life more fun!

As my hero; Mr. David Steward, of World Wide Technologies, states we've will explored the benefits of new emerging market shifts.

Excerpt of the June 2001 issue of Black Enterprises; The 800 Million Dollar Man Story....

E-commerce is real. Just ask David Steward, CEO of World Wide Technology Inc., the largest black-owned business in the nation. Last year, Steward's customers point-and-clicked his information technology (IT) products and services firm to $802 million in revenues

Steward says; "it all comes down to what products and services you choose to offer over the Web, and the strategic alliances and relationships you enter into to deliver them."

"We have a one-stop shop; because it has made the value of accessing information services and ordering products online a competitive advantage for its customers. "We provide a central line to warehousing, distribution and integration services, and supply-chain management services that a company can't get anywhere else."

"Those companies that are able to invest in the Web technology, the supply-chain management systems, and electronic procurement logistics systems have an opportunity to define vertical market spaces," "In the process of defining those market spaces, they'll have a competitive advantage and a whole new frontier that they will have an opportunity to dominate."

TOGETHER LETS DISCOVER & ACTIVATE THESE NEW PRINCIPLES of TRUE SUCCESS!

Stay tuned for the notification of our newly scheduled weekly Conference Call, webinars & various events to really create a certain culture of supporting all members’ endeavors to Build Business, Careers & become very Successful.

Meet like-minded people interested in meditation near you! Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. A trademark of the meditations we emphasize is the ease in which they can be used both “on the cushion” and in our daily lives. <br>

Each meeting will include practical meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life and how to increase mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented.

Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group. Kadampa Buddhism stresses a spiritual path of individual transformation and to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. Everyone is welcome!

This group is organized by Kadampa Meditation Center New York, located in Glen Spey, NY. For more information visit www.kadampanewyork.org
