Come join some friendly Nawakwans on an outing in NYC
Thanksgiving Weekend Potluck Dinner: Saturday, 11/30/24
Let’s have a day of hiking, eating, chatting, playing games, and sharing laughter. Bring your favorite dish to share and hang out!
Date: Saturday, 11/30. To register, email host Yajing: yajinglee@yahoo.com before Friday 11/29 to let me know your attendance. Please indicate what category of food you will bring: appetizer, main dish, side dish, dessert, or drink.
I will email the participants on Friday morning to let you know the size of the group so you know how many people your food or drink should serve. (Note that we have a permit for the weekend, but you are on your own for breakfast.)
Our intrepid group of 5 took a short ferry ride and meandered across the island. Wonderful views of the NYC skyline, the Statue of Liberty, a couple of forts, and a short climb up to a view of Brooklyn. We had a great time sharing stories about the island and every other topic. Looking forward to another outing soon.

Here are some pictures from the weekend of Nov 9-10. It was the coldest night of the season but we dared not to use the fireplace nor the stove for fear that sparks might fly out of the chimney. The night was cold but the company and the food were warm and comforting.
