Had a great weekend in Canandaigua with warm weather, good food, no complaints.

However, over the weekend my bird call tracker went offline without me noticing.

Did the ol' turn it off and on again, and apparently every bird in the Finger Lakes has been waiting to check in.

And speaking of checking in and chipping in, thanks to everyone who volunteered to test the event calendar last week. Looking forward to getting that spruced up and rolled out!

Got a poll for you below, plus Dinner Club
details for the 26th, and lots of events.

Let’s go!

🍽️ READY FOR SUPPER? 🍽️

The first Finger Lakes Effect dinner club was a success!

Ready to join in the fun? The next event is scheduled for March 26th in Seneca Falls, and you can find all the details here.

There’s already one table ready to go - will you be at the next one?

It’s a great way to have a tasty meal, meet some new neighbors, and enjoy some good conversation.

Here’s what a few people who joined the first Dinner Club have to say:

"The food was amazing and the company was great!"

"Very enjoyable! It was great to meet others who had similar interests and had unique experiences to share!"

"I am so happy I signed up for this! It was so nice getting to know people in the area and just chatting among people who share the same community. The food was great and the vibes were great for just meeting people for the first time!"
