Mountain Biking and Hobo Stew Making

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the recent silence. Like I'm sure it is with you all, school is happening, and it is...happening a lot, recently.

BUT we did have a successful camping trip! Photos should be up soon--all we had was Nicolle's black and white film camera, and she has to develop the photos by hand. So...coming soon.

But we made it through a rather wet and cold night, cooked some absolutely delicious camp food (and I'll list the recipes on a later post, probably), and danced a dance of victory around our fire that was made from wet wood! Good day.



Our next meeting is this Thursday, November 5th, from 5:15-6pm. As before, we'll meet in the Starbucks in the student union. We'll be discussing three things at the meeting.

First, our next trip.

We'll be heading up to Ray's MTB gym in Cleveland. It's an indoor Mountain Biking Gym (the first of its kind, I think) and it will be sure to be a crazy time. I have never gone mountain biking, myself, so there is no fear about looking inexperienced or stupid while we're there: I'll be taking care of that part. At the meeting, we'll decide on the best date for everyone.

Second, more opportunities for service! With the holidays coming up, there are a lot of placed that need people to volunteer their time to help bring Christmas to those who otherwise wouldn't have one. I'll be talking about these opportunities on Thursday as well.

Third, position changes. I am a fifth year senior (AAAH ahha aAH), and I'll finally be student teaching in the Spring. As such, though, I am not going to be able to be the president of the OAC next semester, and we need to find someone who will be willing to take this position.

That's all for now. Thanks, all!

See you later this week,
--Michelle
