A few pics from our walk around Roosevelt Island. Lots of snow on the ground but by the start of the walk almost everything had been plowed or shoveled off the sidewalks of RI. Weather was nice, with plenty of birds to be seen along the walk, and great views of Manhattan and Queens. And the tram ride was enjoyable too.
Join the next walk on February 22, same place, same start time, just less snow (hopefully)!
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
