SUMMARY:Catskills Weekend at the Ukrainian Soyuzivka Village - Oct 3-5th
DESCRIPTION:We are returning to Soyuzivka (Soy-ya-`zyou-ka) in Kerhonkson\, NY for our annual Catskill Weekend. Soyuzivka is a Ukrainian Village Resort in the heart of the Shawangunks west of New Paltz. \nOur Society has spent autumns hunting mushrooms in this area and hopes this autumn will be as productive as it has been in years past. \nThe weekend begins with a Friday night travelers’ buffet supper at the Main House Dining Room where all meals will be served. \nWe have reserved the Kiev Lodge\, a beautiful house that sleeps 18-20 people in single & double rooms. The house features a spacious living room and a balcony offering a magnificent view of the Catskills to the north. Should we exceed that number we’ve also reserved Halych Lodge to handle overflow. \nThere will also be rooms in Sich the Dormitory available. These registrants must bring their own bedding and bathroom towels. \nAnd we will offer a meal plan for commuters. \nSaturday starts with breakfast\, followed by a foray in nearby forests. We’ll split up into two or three groups. After a boxed lunch\, we’ll do more foraging in the area. We’ll have a mycology session in the late afternoon followed by Saturday night dinner. Sunday we’ll have a breakfast before breaking for our return trip to New York with stops along the way for mushroom hunts in the Shawangunks. \nHere are the various accommodation offerings: \n\n\n\nSoyuzivka Catskill Weekend Ticket Chart.\n\n\nRoom Type\nTotal Cost\n\n\n\n\nSingle room Fri & Sat with 5 meals\n$510.00\n\n\nDouble Occupancy per person with 5 meals\n$340.00\n\n\nDorm accommodation per person 5 meals\n$265.00\n\n\nCommuter per person with 5 meals\n$175.00\n\n\n\n\nThis weekend is open only to NYMS Members in good standing. \nFor further information on Soyuzivka visit their website http://www.soyuzivka.com \nFor bus transportation visit Short Line Bus. \nPlease note: ** Your RSVP ticket will be tied to your NYMS account.**
