Capital District West Coast Love

Hey everyone,

This group is for people who moved to Upstate NY from the Western US like me. I wanted to make a space for hosting group activities like board game nights, exploring restaurants, karaoke jams, tea tasting sessions, mountain hikes, water/winter sports, and other things that I haven’t already seen an Albany area Meetup group for. Seeking to build a community of 20-30 something transplants and would like to have at least one other co-organizer.

GROUP RULES

1. In the spirit of creating safety for this community, I ask that you share information about yourself in your profile as well as a photo, where your face is clearly visible. If this does not work for you, message me directly after your membership request.

2. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. We are here to lift each other up - which means there should not be any micro-aggressions / aggressions towards each other / sub-groups. This goes for your guests as well: if you bring guests who are signaling microaggressions/aggressions and hostility to others, you will be held accountable for the actions of this guest.

If an event is being held in a private residence, please request permission from the host before bringing a guest. Out of respect for the space and the group dynamic, the host reserves the right to decline guests who may not be a good fit for the gathering.

3. Please do not reach out to members of this group via messaging until you have had an opportunity to meet one another at an event. Don't be creepy, and don't be weird.

If in the event you are found to have harassed another member of this group, it will be grounds for removal.

Lastly, this is not your average meetup group, so do not relate to it as such. Figure out your plans, and remove yourself from the RSVP list at least 24 hours before the event if something comes up so we are clear on who we should expect. Please do not cancel at the last minute, as some events have a limited number of seats available. Additionally, please do not "no show" when you RSVP for events - that is a disservice to the people who spend time putting together events. Be respectful.
