NYC Meetups (including Brooklyn)

[Jeffrey Frankens]

Hello everyone,

If you haven't noticed the Brooklyn group has been changed to New York City Aid Workers group.

From previous knowledge, the Brooklyn Aid Workers Group planned to meet once a month? If possible I'd like to create a meet up every two weeks. One would rotate (across the Burroughs of NYC) and out of tradition the other meet up would happen in Brooklyn. I think this would be a great way to keep the tradition of the Brooklyn AidSource group while also making it easier for other AidSource members to meet up with us.

I know that the previous group was discussing the best day of the week for a meet up. Did everyone decide on Thursdays? Let me know the decision you guys came up with, if possible.

Best,

Jeff

Hey guys, Count me in for either Brooklyn and Manhattan meet-ups regardless of whether they are united or separate. Even if we're in Brooklyn it's nice to know what's also happening in Manhattan.

Also, if you all ever want to have a party / concert / event for any reason, I can offer my arts community space in Brooklyn/South Williamsburg JMZLG) and could even help produce something with musicians if it's ever called for. Though, I know the best thing here is just to meet, relax, and share a few beers and stories, so Habana or similar is cool! - Daniel

How cool, Daniel!  What do you do?  We haven't met in W'burg yet actually...so maybe it's due?

[Jeffrey Frankens]

Lets do Habana this upcoming meet up since it seems like a great place to go. (we have to decide on something ;) ) We can meet up in W'burg the next meet up?

[Daniel J Gerstle]

Hey Zehra, Apologies for the delay. Yeah, I did a decade or so of humanitarian aid / hum rts, and now I do related media, events, and music projects: http://humanitarianbazaar.org/wordpress. I work in the Wburg neighborhood usually, so if you're up for a coffee let me know. What's your specialty?

Would people prefer to meet this Thursday or next? Id prefer this Thursday. But let me know if it doesn't work out for you and you need more time to plan. 

[Jeffrey Frankens]
