June 3, 2023 – GCC Spring BBQ
Save the date for the Gunks Climbers’ Coalition BBQ!
Date: Saturday, June 3, 2023
Time: 5-8pm
Location: Mohonk Preserve Visitors Center back patio
The GCC BBQ is free to joint Access Fund/GCC members, including food and drink!
Join or renew your Access Fund membership on their website, and be sure to designate the Gunks Climbers’ Coalition as your local organization. Non-members may attend for $20… but why not get an Access Fund membership and support local and national climbing access projects plus get admission to the BBQ? You will be able to join or renew your membership at the BBQ, but if you can do it online ahead of time*, you can get into the party faster. *(We get the list of members from the Access Fund on Friday 6/2, so join before then or you won’t be on the list).
The party starts at 5pm and ends at 8pm. Don’t arrive too late, we cannot guarantee there will still be food left! Please RSVP so we can anticipate how much food and drink we’ll need.
We’ll have food like burgers and hot dogs, veggie burgers and vegan beans, appetizers, salad, snacks and cookies, as well as water, beer, wine and soda to drink. Want to help reduce our environmental impact? We suggest bringing your own reusable dishware, utensils and cups.
The GCC will also give a quick update on the projects we’re working on.
SEE YOU AT THE PARTY!!!
GCC BBQ FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
You must be 21 years old to drink alcohol. Bring ID if you don’t look over 21.
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Park at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor’s Center. At the front door, turn left and come around to the back patio to sign-in. Entrance is not permitted through the Visitor’s Center building.
Do I have to join?
This is an event to help raise funds for the Access Fund and Gunks Climbers’ Coalition. Joining or renewing is $40 for a joint annual membership in the Access Fund and GCC. We hope that you join, but otherwise admission for non-members is $20.
Can I bring my children?
Children under 12 accompanied by their GCC-member parent can attend for free.
Can I bring my dog?
Because it’s outside, the Mohonk Preserve is OK with dogs, but for everyone’s safety and comfort, they should be on a leash, and unfriendly dogs left home. Note: the food is for humans, not dogs (unless you want to pay $20 for the dog’s dinner).
Are the veggie burgers vegan?
We will have salad, vegan baked beans and veggie appetizers, but whether or not the veggie burgers are vegan depends on if we can get vegan burgers in bulk at an affordable price. Otherwise, Morningstar Farms veggie burgers are not vegan (contains egg).
Can I show up later?
The event starts at 5pm, and most people show up between 5 and 6pm. If you come later, we cannot guarantee that there will be enough food left. So we recommend getting there close to the starting time.
Will there be a raffle?
No, we will be holding a raffle online in June so more people could participate.
What if I have questions?
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
