For folks in the Tri-Corner MA/NY CT area (Say Sheffield to Sharon, and Goshen to Amenia), the Falls Village Pool may be a great place for a cool destination visit for you or others you'd like to plan to enjoy it with. Check the town recreation site for rules and fees.

They are fairly reasonable for individuals from other towns (5 dollars per person per day). For a three hour party, there's a fee of $125 so see how many folks you could invite to make that worth while.

The following is from Humanity's Team, an online outreach and huge global network, to send to friends in an email...so hope I'm still within guidelines since I consider you all my friends. These are the kinds of talks I hoped would happen thirty years ago and which the internet makes as easy as calling a friend up or watching a show online (or television which is something that was a wonder in its day.)

The secret many are sharing are that We Are  The Wonders of Our Day and World.

Best wishes to this and every graduating class of Mountaineers from the 75+ year old Housatonic Valley Regional High School or Housy.  I happened to have a nice shirt with that logo on the back as part of remembering Kaelan's passing on 6-16-09 which hopefully all can help educate others about in terms of planning for safe, sensible good times, Scout's honor and cool Kaelan remembrance kind of thing, we good on that legacy point? 

There are many from each community who have struggled or had to bid loved ones an earthly farewell who we can always seek to support and extend a moment of silence

Couples could benefit from mediation

 

Many couples divorcing would benefit from a thorough explanation of the savings and benefits of using mediation. This is not done in a consistent manner, and too often adverserial attorneys end up pitting their clients against each other.

Helping the Homeless, those in Transitions, Wrongfully Put in Prison and Preventing Abuse (all in one post for your advocacy convenience for self and others..)

I've met many a homeless in the NYC area and a few in Great Barrington MA and the MA/NY CT try-corner area and hope others are keeping an eye on 
any homeless (or houseless, even though one may or does own a house... but just doesn't or can't live in it.)
