Meeting Minutes

oops.  what can i say.  last week minutes are so late that they will be combined with this week.  LATER than late.  a wise jon once told me (tonight) that “procrastination pays off immediately,” which i have always found to be true.
 
last week, (3-19-0 8) natasha sent some delicious cookies to the meeting, and trisha did not get one.
 
Ryan, Adam, Marina, Sophie and others? went to KY and climbed and had an awesome time, and took pictures.  they wore t-shirts.  because it was so warm.
 
next weekend (april 4-7), people are going to KY again.  there are at least 10-12 people for sure going.  if you want to go, please commit by this coming monday so we can plan transportation.  ryan, jon, lori, jon, adam, brad, natasha, matt, marina, and others (ME!) are planning on going.
please let ryan know if you plan to go.
 
some (sad?) news, is that ryan will not be here next year, and so hopefully someone else who is as organized (and hippie-ish) as he is will take over as president.  which shouldnt be too hard.  i think adam won’t be here either.  and i probably will not be here either.  i shouldn’t be too hard to replace, but i must warn you - this secretarial job can be quite dangerous at times **see story below**.  so start thinking about if you would like to take over one of these positions, and we will probably nominate people sometime in the next few weeks. 
 
that’s all.

by the way, i am currently typing this up in the health professions building at 11:00 pm on thursday night.  when i walked in the front door, two girls were yelling - at first i ignored them and kept walking because for some reason this didn’t seem like an unusual occurrence to me.  anyways, i realized they were yelling at me because apparently there is some lunatic riding his bike around the health building (wearing a “black hoodie”), stalking young women.  so anyways, the girls called the campus police (who can be quite intimidating), and had him escort them to their car.  so i decided to come up here and type up the minutes anyway, just to show what a dedicated secretary i am - risking my life, and all.  so hopefully i will make it out to my car when i leave… ahhh, never a dull moment in mt. pleasant.

Meeting Minutes

hello fellow climbers - (toenails optional),

here are the meeting minutes ON TiME.
ryan says welcome back from spring break. happy birthday to jimmy who is 21 today. everyone should call jimmy tomorrow at 7 a.m. because he probably won’t have a hangover.

Spring break! was last week - sorry if you missed it. i hope you didn’t accidentally go to class. Dave, Elliott, Brad and others went to Tennessee to climb because it was rainy and snowy in kentucky. [insert bad pickup line about "you're the only ten i see" here].

Jacquie injured her right thumb also, so we match now. Also, the hair on jacquie’s legs is now a healthy 3/4″ in length. I’ll keep you posted on the weekly growth reports.

This weekend there is a climbing competition at GVSU. There is more info at the climbing wall, or at gvsu.edu. or ask me because i have details. I have decided NOT to go, but good luck to anyone who is planning on going! last year ryan got 1st or 2nd i think in his division, so that gives you a pretty good idea of the level of competition at these things (weak sauce).

This friday! at ward theater on main street, downtown there is an Acoustic Brew - which means FREE live music, FREE food and coffee, comfortable seats, and good conversation :) which is also free (although some people.. honestly.. like matt christensen, should not be encouraged to talk even more than they ALREADY do). This event will be from 7-10 pm, and you will love it, so you better go. i am!

Gordo hoola’ed.

So Ryan decided that people should go to KY to climb a lot because KY is awesome. There are 3 trips planned coming up soon. Here are the dates of the trips planned:
March 20-23, April 4-6, April 18-20. They are all on the weekend, and people will be leaving Thursday night for each one. Let Ryan know which trip/trips you plan to go on. I am planning on going to the April 4th trip, and I think there are quite a few other people who want to go that weekend too. The more people that go, the less everyone will have to spend on gas $$.

Ryan says everyone should attend next week’s meeting if possible because its going to be an important one. no pressure or anything ryan. it better be worth it.

so apparently there is going to be a special habitat for my hangboard tomorrow at my house sometime between 4-8 pm. its kind of like the non-amish version of a barn raising. show up if you want to, its going to be an exciting event!! :) I plan on doing some stud-finding. if anyone knows where i can find some studs, be sure to let me know. i have heard that finding the studs is the hardest part of this process. i mean, really, where do you usually find them?

have a great week! :)

Meeting Photos

These are like the minutes, only in photos…

cookies

First off there were cookies and they had some goodness inside of them. This right here is worth coming to OnBelay for. Seriously.

Jimmy

Then Jimmy has a shoe fund. He appreciates your support. And I think he stole that can from the bin under the table…

shirt

Next we have a shirt, or THE shirt. As you can see it says climbing and people wore them this week, and its maroon, and other colors are available

Unfortunately we didn’t grab a photo of the three finalist, but we do have the winner and his stash…me.

And here is my prize. I’m pretty sure Elliot was jealous and thought he should have won…

Then we took a group photo. No wait, actually like 20 of them…

I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I think she has a crush, and he has a crush on ______…

And the funniest picture you are just going to have to picture in your head.

Ryan put on a cowboy hat and was riding everest around the gym. It was pretty funny.

peace out.
