when I look at your events, seems like there are always 3 or 4 people who attend...where are all the others???? I would like to meet people secondary to the event.

Greetings,

We are now 700 members STRONG. (180 more than this time last year) Wish we could get more of our share of the probably millions of Baby Boomers who live in New Jersey.  Maybe each of us should invite five new Baby Boomer friends to join in the FUN! (good idea)

 

In 2013, The Leadership Team scheduled over 200 events.  Some of us saw ten local Plays & Musicals with three musicals at the Open Air Theatre in Washington Crossing, NJ where we first had a picnic.  Over ten events came to my attention by member’s suggestions – please keep on suggesting events that you think you and other Baby Boomers would enjoy.

 

We also sampled varied cuisine at ten better restaurants as well as Jenks on the beach in Pt. Pleasant with Fireworks by our table, last August.  Also at the shore in the Summer, we ate ‘al fresco’ at McLoone’s Asbury Grille in Asbury Park - on the boardwalk while listening to a Jazz Concert.   Eight of us tried the ‘Locavore’s Feast!’ at Whole Foods Market, Princeton, NJ in October with Chef Chris.  All the food was grown or produced locally, within 100 miles of the store.  At ShopRite’s Culinary Workshop, under the direction of Chef Elsa - we helped make our meal and enjoyed eating the ‘fruits of our Labor’ with new friends – three times. 

 

We watched the seasons change at the Grounds For Sculpture outdoor museum in Hamilton, NJ while walking through the fauna & sculpture and heard a few Concerts in the East Gallery – a sensual space.  Some of us took a half day carpool trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art on selected Friday afternoons where in addition to all the Art, we heard a Jazz Concert and later ate a super fine meal at the Cheese Cake Factory in Cherry Hill, NJ.  In the Fall, we took a two plus hour walking tour of Princeton, NJ – a historic gem as well as a great place to be.

 

Thanks to all who responded to my “Cry for Help!” message in September, with your ideas on possible events - how to run the Baby Boomer group and communicate with our members.  While I’m probably not going to change my ways, it helps that most of us share a common past; “Where were you when Kennedy was shot?”  “What did you like at the New York World’s Fair?” It’s funny, when I first meet a new Baby Boomer, it already seems like we have been friends since childhood.

 

About our events; I set up an event that I would like to do (maybe some Baby Boomers too) and look at past MeetUp years, Friday & Sunday’s Entertainment sections in the local papers and web sites or e-mail broadcast messages for event ideas.  I like to fill up the calendar especially weekends, even though I may have to cancel some events because of bad weather, lack of interest or cancellations beyond my control.  The MeetUp Company bills me $12.00 a month if I schedule one event or one hundred and one events a month, so events galore!

 

In closing, you may have noticed that on some events, I ask for a $1.00 Contribution for members and guests who select RSVP - to help me pay for the MeetUp page.  I only select events for the Contribution that requires me to make a reservation or buy tickets in advance or entails some additional planning on my part.   

 

Thanks for your interest and PLEASE - select some events you like, RSVP and most importantly – PARTICIPATE in 2014

 

Glen Daless, the Organizer
