However if in the event of a small craft advisory is issued or active thunderstorms in the area the event will be cancelled for that week. If a session is full make sure to keep checking in up to that nite as more openings can happen as we add boats and skippers the number of New Sailors we can accommodate for any specific week may increase !!!

Sunset Cafeteria (new name for discussion groups)

Rochester, NY

The inevitable final phase of life is often laden with uneasiness and bewilderment that can be alleviated by interacting with one another, promoting camaraderie and communal connections. By attending gatherings for the purpose of discussing death-related issues, participants take healthful steps toward integrating an attitude of forthright awareness and acceptance of mortality as part of life. Normalizing death leads to life enrichment and appreciation. Learning about it is invigorating. The shared interactions are enlivening, often seasoned with light-hearted pleasures. For many, the experiences are surprisingly gratifying.

Couples Meeting Other Couples (Rochester, 20s and 30s)

Rochester, NY

After looking for Meetup groups where couples can meet other couples in the Rochester area, we found... zero. So, we decided to make one! This group is for couples who are in their 20s or 30s and want to find other couple friends out there! If we get enough interest, most Meetups would be for 4 couples (8 people) max. Our favorite type of hangout is coffee (or other beverages) and conversation; however, we could think of more things to do as well if people want something a bit more active.

Friends and Solo Parents (20s to 50s) of Greater Rochester

Fairport, NY

Are you flying solo? Are you trying to parent kids through these circumstances? It can be difficult without a group of friends around you supporting you. That’s what this group is about. Some if our members are divorced. Some of our members are widowed. And some of our members were solo parents from the outset. Whatever your circumstances, join us and make friends who have been there too. We get together at least once a month for Happy Hours. We are adding other events as often as time allows.

To be clear, this is not a dating group. Dating within the group is neither encouraged nor discouraged. If that is your objective, be very careful approaching a member. Unwanted advances will lead to a warning, three such warnings, and a member may be subject to expulsion from the group without further warnings.

Because we are aiming this group to be a resource to people who are actively parenting, we are limiting our age range to those in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.

If a member of this group has children living in the home, they should consider joining our sister group Solo Parents of Greater Rochester after attending an event such as our Happy Hours or Coffees. We will approve you for that group once we have met you. That group has a few events that are geared specifically for children between the ages of 6 and 18, such as Halloween Parties, Apple Picking, Christmas Parties etc. The direct link is below.

Statehood Whitehouse Card Game (New+, Patent Pending)

Rochester, NY

Whitehouse is a new patent pending card game and deck my wife and I created to bring people together as a part of our passion to promote more civil discourse in America. If you would like a free deck, let me know. But, I would like to meetup starting in December 2023 and play Whitehouse for fun and communion. Whitehouse is played similar to Spades and Bid Whist, except the bidding is based on how many electoral college votes you and your partner intend to win. The minimum bid allowed is 270, just enough to win the majority of electoral votes and the White House. States are split into Blue (♠, ♣) and Red (♥, ♦) based on the 2020 U.S presidential election results. The second game with can play with our cards is called "Statehood". You can learn more about our deck and the how to play at www.statehood.cards See you soon! Herb
