Rick, of the Roosevelt Islander Blog, has posted an Opening Day Post-Game Summary. RIRA President Franke Farance gauged interest in starting an Adult Softball League on Roosevelt Island. The result was "a handful of people that might be interested in playing, but no team leaders/managers willing to do the work of recruiting/organizing." This meetup.com group is an attempt to start with something very informal that might grow into such a League. If we can begin by getting 12 people to show up …

Do you live in Long Island City? Are you in your mid-late 20s or early 30s? Are you interested in meeting others who live in the neighborhood? Then you should join this group! I'm looking to make this a group mostly for people out of college but not necessarily "settled down"/starting a family already (it seems like 90% of the people in my building are already married with kids). I live by the waterfront/Gantry Park off the Vernon/Jackson stop, but people from other areas of LIC, and even Astori …

My wife and I are from NY, but just moved to Long Island City near the water. We live a couple of blocks from the dog park on Vernon. We thought it might be easier to schedule meetups so that our dogs could play with lots of other dogs in the area. Well really just one dog because our 1 year old Jack Russell/Daschund mix constantly wants to play and our maltese likes to sleep/eat all day. The other main reason for this group is my wife and I are both in marketing but we have different schedules. …

When we accomplish something big as a group, it should be celebrated. This is not a cause specif …
