 * That sounds fun! I was potentially going to go to a WNBA basketball game that day but haven't bought tickets yet. I made the WikiData item for the club as a remote participant in this very edit-a-thon., thanks again for hosting @Emjackson42 @Windblown29, it was fascinating to learn more about Beacon. I'd certainly like to visit the Sloop Club someday. It also needs a picture or two, paging @Jim.henderson. Do you think it's notable enough for a stand-alone Wikipedia article @Jeremyb-phone?

 * Hmm, we are also rapidly approaching Huckleberry season in College Point. I am unaware of any organized festival or even of anything ever published about it, and I didn't bike out there during the plague to pick wild berries. Alas, it has been years since my only reliable wild strawberry patch, on the bridge of the Old Putnam Railroad over Yonkers Avenue, was cleaned out. Jim.henderson (talk) 15:52, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, @Jim.henderson, @Jeremyb-phone/@Jeremyb, @Wil540 art, and @Windblown29. Somehow just seeing this now. I'll be volunteering at the Strawberry Festival (at the compost working group table) from 11:30 until 1! Maybe I'll see you there? Emjackson42 (talk) 18:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, date is Sunday June 9, btw. Emjackson42 (talk) 19:01, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * yes, June 9. I'll be there! Jeremyb (talk) 04:43, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
