Our 2026 "Wellness Wednesday Community Walks"
5pm every Wednesday from April 8 through September 30 at Thompson-Mazzarella Park / Frost Nature Trails in Rhinebeck. (park near the Town Pool / Rbk Community Garden and meet at Frost Nature Trails Kiosk).
We'll still have a lead from our group each week to "host" and bring a 5-10 minute meditation or mindfulness activity to the experience if possible.
Walks will start from the Frost Nature Trails kiosk (by Rhinebeck Town Pool / Thompson-Mazzarella Park), and shouldn't take more than 60-75 minutes each.
Walks are open to EVERYONE ages 18+, as well as LEASHED dogs.
In the event of inclement weather, just assume the walk is canceled. We will add that to our publicity materials as well so that everyone can use their best judgement!

Fellow Rotarians' Happenings...
FROM RICHARD MARR:
FROM BRADEN RHETTS:
For many years I have served on the board of a small theater company in the city called Page 73. We are an incubator and launchpad for early career playwrights, annually producing at least one New York Premiere for an early career playwright. Frequently this means I ask friends to come support the arts because it is vitally important to do so, not necessarily because the play is award-winning.
That said, when I tell you a show is good and you should run to see it - I mean it. I strongly encourage you to go see our new show, “Cold War Choir Practice.” It is creative, funny, oddly timely, and a critics pick. This show is GOOD.
I am the Senior Development Manager at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. Our Executive Director had a wonderful meeting your members and wanted to share a cultural opportunity that is coming up in May. The Site has organized an all-inclusive guided day trip to two world-class museums in Connecticut, the Hill-Stead Museum and The Wadsworth, with a catered lunch provided in the gardens of the Hill-Stead. See the attached flyer for additional details. This trip will take place on Saturday, May 9, with a 7:45am departure from the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill and an estimated return time of 6:30pm/7:00pm.
We hope so much that members of the Rhinebeck Rotary will join us for this delightful outing.
