Community Dining Syracuse

November 6, 2009 by Brian Hoke

Community Dining Syracuse has two goals: 1) providing an intergenerational, interracial, multi-cultural melting pot of people to share interesting conversation and good food; and 2) making it comfortable to dine out alone or as a couple to meet new people. Our new community ethos should become “eating out alone doesn’t mean being alone.” Sponsors are AARP and the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce with partners, Leadership Greater Syracuse, 100 Black Men and Media Personality and Advocate George Kilpatrick.

October 9, 2009 by baynek

If you missed our October meeting, boy were you missing out!!  We had a fabulous time at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo–Sarah Moore from Friends of the Zoo and Ted talked to us about the impressive accreditations of the zoo, the programming that they have going on and even took us on a VIP tour of the new penguin exhibit!  Yes, you heard me right!  We got to get a behind-the-scenes look at the baby penguins and even got to pet one!!!  Check out the pictures coming soon!

If YOU would like to get involved in the Zoo and have some great opportunities, check out some of these upcoming events and opportunities:
