Catskill Crew Newsletter 🌷

Letter 28

✨ FUTURE OF CATSKILL CREW

Big Plans & Big Updates

You’re not mistaken, this is indeed a newsletter on a Tuesday! I wanted to share a few thoughts I’ve had, inspired by feedback from the crew (a.k.a. you fine folk), local businesses, and looking back on the last couples months of building this community.

🗓️ Tuesday is the New Monday

The newsletter will be moved to Tuesday. Why, you ask? Events roll in slowly and many arrive after the newsletter goes out on Monday afternoon. By pushing out a day, I can get you the best of the best.

🎟️ More Events Means More Fun

The Inaugural Catskill Crew Happy Hour at Urban Cowboy was such a success - It only feels right to throw more events!

If you’re a business and interested in partnering up shoot me an email!

I’m thinking dinner parties, happy hours, movie nights, fly tying classes, river cleanups, hikes, guided foraging, cocktail making classes, cooking classes, and whatever else we can conjure up. What do YOU think we should do together as we move into spring and summer?

📈 The Crew is Growing

Over the last 6 months we’ve grown to over 3,000 people and have shared 2,000+ events, and you’re a part of it all! I appreciate every single one of you and I’m excited to see where we can take it from here!
