Hey folks, It's been a great semester, so before we all sell our souls to finals come down and kick it with all your friends at an awesome potluck.  Cook, buy, or steal your favorite food or drinks and bring them down to G24 Cathy Tuesday night at 9pm.  It's guaranteed to be good times with great people!  Hope to see everyone there! Best, Jon

Hey folks, Today's meeting was super productive so get ready for a novel. Tonight Nicole gave an awesome presentation about getting employed in the outdoors, and she put together this great list of places you can apply if you're trying to get paid to hang out in the woods.   https://docs.google.com/document/d/19BcPdvg4EfJnSJ6K-X05sS6oO4qLzfyDfqs6ohIILxk/edit?usp=sharing We had sign ups for Seneca tonight, which will be from Friday the 13th to Sunday the 15th of April.  Seneca has amazing multipitch climbs that are sandbagged all to hell but tons of fun, and some super sweet caves to crawl around in.  If you want to climb at Seneca and don't have a ton of experience following on trad climbs or working systems for multipitch you'll need to come to a workshop on that stuff.  They'll be up at the climbing wall in Trees Monday and Wednesday from 4-7pm and Thursday 7:30-10pm.  Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFZFbfyJD3b5wPzB2ScTYuGQ-oVoiiRl6gKU_OMe

Hey folks,  There is a meeting tonight in Cathy G24 tonight at 9pm. We will have a presentation about getting jobs in the outdoors this summer. This is definitely something worth listening to because we all like the outdoors and we all want money so we can do more things outdoors.  Sign-ups for the Seneca and Laurel Highlands trips are happening tonight also. Seneca is an advanced climbing and intermediate caving trip that is always a fun one. If you like tall climbs, small caves and staying in cabins, this trip is the one for you. Laurel highlands is our beginner backpacking trip. Its nothing too challenging and is open to anyone who is interested. Both of these trips are next weekend so there is really no way to do both.  We will also be doing sign-ups for an archery event Friday with the Archery club. This event is open to everyone, so whether you've never shot arrows into targets before or if you do it on the regular, this event is for you. There will more details about this at
