“ Eye opening, to say the least. Go out on a few Trash Tours with these folks and you'll never feel the same walking in to any supermarket in the world. It's truly grotesque to see how much is wasted, every day. On a lighter side, the people I've met and continue meeting are very cool. They're world-changers, and I'm glad to be a part of them. ”

“ If you like well planned, fun organized hikes with nice people then this is your group! I had a Great Time on my first adventure, and look forward to playin' in the woods again with ya'all soon! ”

“ It was a pleasure to meet Malika Basmah and some of the other beautiful dancers from the Jersey City - Hoboken Bellydance Meetup. I hope that we can continue to collaborate on joint events. Michael Kim 'Jamal' Riegelman, Director, NYC Arabic Language & Culture Club. Riegelman@UN.Org ”

“ WoW! Fong, you really have a Great Group here! I learned a lot from watching your interactions with your group, from a Meetup Organizers standpoint. Well done my friend, very well done. All the members I spoke with were really nice, and I even learned to write a few words in Mandarin! Shokran! : ) ”

“ NY Adventures is one of my favorite Meetups! We all know David - he's the King of Meetup. He may also be the nicest New Yorker you'll ever meet - even though he's 100% Brooklyn! ”

“ I'm very happy to see this club so active and vibrant. Excellent Job Joe! It wasn't too long ago when I was at your place telling you about Meetup.com! I'm happy that your club has grown into what it is today, the largest Backpacking Club on Meetup.com! As per my previous discussions with you, there are still several things from a Logistic & Safety standpoint which I think you need to work on. Remember the "7 Pee's"?.Although you rarely join in on the activities that your group offers, I hope you are thinking about Safety Action Plans and Logistics, such as our mentors at Northland taught us,as both trips I've gone on with the club were lacking in this vital component. Needless to say, I have Greatly Enjoyed meeting & hiking with everyone I've met through your dynamic & thriving club.There is always room for improvement in anything we do,so please take this as constructive feedback,which it is.What is the legality of the group?What if someone got hurt & decided to sue?Are u protected? ”

“ Juliana RULES! She really puts a lot of hard work into this group and it shows! ”

“ I'm really excited about this group, and think that we can do great things, Incha'Allah. Our first event at NYU was excellent! I enjoyed meeting you all, and can't wait for our next gathering! ”

“ fun bunch of people, all continually confused by Jack, Sawyer, and their girlfriend, Kate, run by the King of Meetup.com, Professor Tom! ”

“ It was nice to finally meet you Big Horse! - now I know your real name ; ) ”

“ New in Town is one of my favorite Meetups! We all know David - he's the King of Meetup. He may also be the nicest New Yorker you'll ever meet - even though he's 100% Brooklyn! ”

“ Sam puts a Lot of hard work into this club, and it shows! : ) ”

“ Although I've been a member for some time, I just came to my first event today (Movie double-feature). I met some nice people, and finally got a chance to meet Eric. He's a nice guy, and puts a lot of hard work into this club. Shokran / Thanks! - Mike Jamal Director, NYC Arabic Language & Culture Meetup Club ”

“ Because the courts under the GW are the best in the city! ”

“ Cause' we RULE! If you like to bowl, have a good attitude, aren't competitive, and just like to have fun, drop by and roll a few with us! ”

“ Words alone can Not Describe how much I enjoy this Club. I truly grateful to have found it - thanks to the woman I met at the Coffee Pot who told me about it : ) I have met and made more friends than I can remember. I wish I would have known about this place sooner! Everyone Without Exception has been a unique joy to meet. I hope we continue to grow together and continue our elusive quest for Arabic fluency, while having a Great Time doin' it! Heck, even if you aren't interested in learning Arabic, and some of you aren't, that's ok too!
