Sunset Walk along Riverside Park to the Hudson Yards-Members Appreciation Event

THIS EVENT IS CANCELED.

WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER SUNSET WALK ON AUGUST 1.

PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU RSVP.

WHEN YOU RSVP THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO-IT MEANS YOU ACT RESPONSIBLY AND RESPECT THE RSVP PROCESS.

The wait list for this group does NOT operate in a conventional way. Those on the wait list will not be moved to the going list automatically. DISREGARD MEETUP'S ATTEMPT TO CHARGE MORE TO GAIN WAITLIST PRIORITY-THAT IS NEVER NECESSARY FOR THIS GROUP.

Join us on a fun, relatively fast paced 3-4 mile hike from Riverside Park to the Hudson Yards on West 34th Street on a Friday evening. (Photo by Mila) We will finish not too far from Penn Station and the #7 train.

I consider this a Members Appreciation Event. I want to primarily reward those members who have attended an event with this group within the last 12 months with few cancellations. Therefore, we will initially give preference to those members and then will add members who may not have attended an event in a while or first timers who have never attended an event before.

I will not accept money on this event no matter how strong your desire might be to contribute.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED AN EVENT WITH THIS GROUP BEFORE, I AM REQUIRING THAT YOU SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO bsb2@att.net AS SOON AS YOU RSVP, WHETHER YOU ARE ON THE GOING LIST OR ON a WAIT LIST, AND PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THE BODY OF YOUR MESSAGE TO ME. THIS WILL HELP ME COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH THOSE WHO RSVP. There is a reason why I ask this of you. If you are a first timer and you can't abide by this simple request, you are going to end up on the NOT going list. NO GUESTS UNLESS YOU HAVE ATTENDED AN EVENT IN THE PAST.

Riverside Park was actually designed by different people throughout the years. It is very narrow and will afford us some fine views of the Hudson River. Although I will provide some commentary it will be limited. However, to amuse myself, every once in a while I may say things that I think are very funny although you may not think so. This is a hike which is especially scenic at the beginning and hopefully at the end but is gritty in the middle!

PLEASE ALSO READ "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT" ON THIS MEETUP'S HOME PAGE BEFORE YOU RSVP IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY ON "WHAT WE'RE ABOUT” NOW SPECIFICALLY REFERENCES THE CORONA VIRUS. (THE WAIVER OF LIABILITY HAS BEEN POSTED SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS MEETUP GROUP)

MEETING DETAILS WILL BE SENT BY A MEETUP MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO RSVP NO LATER THAN THE EVENING BEFORE THE EVENT AND PROBABLY SOONER

IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, ON YOUR DESKTOP, PLEASE CLICK ON YOUR PROFILE WHICH IS ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SITE, THEN CLICK "SETTINGS", THEN CLICK E-MAIL UPDATES" ON THE LEFT. MAKE SURE YOUR E-MAIL UPDATES ARE ON AND WHERE IT SAYS "UPDATES ABOUT YOU”, CHECK MESSAGES BOX. THIS WILL HELP TO INSURE YOU GET MESSAGES FROM ME. I LIKE TO THINK THOSE MESSAGES ARE IMPORTANT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN EVEN CUSTOMIZE YOR SETTINGS TO GET MESSAGES FROM SELECT GROUPS.

I am going to ask that people not post any comments or questions prior to the event. (Please just respect my wishes and don't do it.) You have more than enough information to do this once you get the meeting details. No offense, but I don’t need to know-and neither does anyone else- what you are doing that day if you can’t make it or what you think the weather will be. AFTER the event, post as many comments and photos as you like.

If the weather forecast is really bad, I will post a notice on the day of the hike by 1:00 P.M. If there is no notice, we go.
