We had a great turnout this past weekend at Characters, nearby to Camp Nawakwa. Very good food and wonderful atmosphere kept the gang going throughout the afternoon. Awards were presented by Eve Mancuso (our new Chairperson) – to Suzanne Rocheleau, Ellen King, and Ray Kozma (now chairperson emeritus!) plus our newest 50 year member, Lilian Zwyns. Thanks to Dave Hayes for donating the awards.
We’ll see you all at Camp soon!
Yes it was a bit cold at the start but we soon warmed up with a nice walk through Central Park. Our group of 9 meandered and wandered, ending up with a ramble through the Ramble and a hot chocolate and coffee at the end. We spotted a few tourists and even an unknown goose or two.
Come join a few Nawakwans on the next hike or outing
Yajing our host sent some pics from camp…. Enjoy!
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.
