What we’re about
Ambles, Adventures and the Arts is a welcoming place to experience and enjoy the visual arts, music (such as Caramoor), nature (including visiting Innisfree Gardens and Open Garden Days), local theater, outdoor physical activities, visiting different points of interest, exploring, and so much more.
Our group’s goal is to enjoy all the Hudson Valley has to offer.
We are inclusive and welcoming. The power of Meetup is in its mission. After 9/11, Meetup’s founders wanted to create a space for people to come together and support each other by connecting through common interests. At each event we endeavor to make introductions all around and encourage social connection. If you feel excluded or uncomfortable at any of our meetups, please reach out to an organizer so we can help. We all started out as strangers hoping to make new connections. In our Meetup group, your fellow members and especially the organizers want to make sure you feel at ease and included so you can begin to make those connections. Your task is to meet your fellow members halfway and start getting to know them too.
As for parameters for participation we see only one as essential: if you can’t make an event, it’s fine, simply communicate with the event host. Three no- shows, without communicating, results in being removed.
Marie, Diane and Debbie paid the fees for one year (8/21/24-8/20/25). We are asking Ambles members to contribute $15/year to cover the $360/year Meetup charges. We will be setting up a fundraiser on the Ambles Meetup site..
Our meetup was started by Colleen. Currently Debbie, Diane, Marie and Rosanna - which means there can be more than one meetup on a particular day. Also, if an event is listed as "FYI" either in its title or description it means it is an "unhosted" event - so no one will be organizing the event and if multiple people have signed up you should put a comment in the comment section in order to see when and where you all can meetup! In all events, make sure to read each event description for an event you are interested in to see if it is FYI or hosted. The event descriptions for hosted events have a lot of useful information in the event description.
So welcome!
Marie, Debbie, Rosanna & Diane
