COC MINUTES 2.22.0Niner


It’s cha boy Ty Law writing down all the discussions of the meetin’ – I want to remind you, just because the meeting is so flawlessly documented doesn’t count as an excuse not to be there…

TRIP REPORTS:
THEY TUMBLED DOWN TUMBLEDOWN: clever right? Hannah’s idea not mine. Anyway Molly and Matt and Amy and Amy and Sarah and two sketchies that called themselves alum snowshoed Tumbledown. Then they slid at a rapid pace down the slope. And I quote: “It was boss!” No body fluid spillage also no nakedness.

TEEN CENTER HIKED THE ARBORfreakinETUM: Hannah and another – I’m assuming there was no blood or pus.

SNOW SHOE RACE: “A COMPLETE FAILURE”: Wrecked by sloppy attendance (One team of three, then Liz backed out) and laziness of the snow gods, this race never happened – Lauren shed a tear for it – case closed. We debated offering monetary rewards as incentive, then we realized we don’t have the dough to make monetary what should be monetary – maybe winner gets to chug maple syrup?

UPCOMING TRIPS: Sign up
ONLINE!
POTENTIAL TRIP TO BOWDOIN’s ISLAND: Yes they have an island and vans and staff and a totem pole and I quote: “ugly chicks”. Most of the talk was about how we could trash their island then show up and comment how crappy is was. Even talk of colonizing and extracting all it’s natural resources was talked. In reality we might school them in an adventure race - prizes being either their van or maple syrup.

CHYOGA WITH LIZ: Get your zen on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4PM in the office. Also, Liz is very concerned with the inconsiderosity of fellow members whilst the yogaites are getting their zen on – approach with caution in the future.

XC SKI IN THE NIGHT: with Hannah and her friend Judith – It’s going down Thursday night at 10PM

SNOWSHOE RUN: slingshotting off the wild success of the last race, Lauren and Sara are running with plastic on their feet, through the snow on Thursday @ 3:30PM

WHAT? A HALF MARATHON SNOWSHOE RACE AT MIDDLEBURY? SICK! 10k, half-marathon, or full marathon – march 7th – @ middlebury – Hannah, Sara, and Judy are going – you know you want to got – Sara says: “It’s quite easy” and “if you like to run you can do this” – I say if you like to run, wow.

OFFICE HOURS THIS WEEK (7PM):

Monday – Ski tuning with Eric the Foster-Moore – focus on waxing
Tuesday – Whisper Lite clinic with Joanna
Wednesday – mystery – ooh.
Thursday – your favorite cold cereal discussion with Bro Adams (that is a blatant lie)

XC CARNIVAL AT THE LOAF: come cheer on our spandex-wearing-slender-bodied-swix-sporting-friends with Sarah either Saturday or Sunday!

WILDERNESS FIRST AID COURSE: might come this weekend, but we need at least one more person that wants to do this – it’s a very good skill I’d say –email emfoster@colby.edu if you’re interested.

AVISOS IMPORTANTES:
Potential tent building action with Amelia –stay tuned

PROJECT UPDATES:
Gustov and his tongs, tongs tongs tongs. We love the tongs. We need tongs. Also all the basics of a toolbox: drills, levelers, saws, screwdrivers, wrenches, monkey wrenches, nails, a hammer maybe, goggles, hacksaw – proposal of $200 for tools – who wants to be the officer of tools? We have a lot of projects that need tools – I think we should get a “sawzall” (it runs on testosterone) – Gustov says we have crappy bits – a Tool Task Force (TTF) is forming; now they’re meeting at Tuesday office hours.

OTHER FUN FACTS:
GODDARD HODGKINS WANTS YOU (NEXT YEAR)- anybody interested in living in go ho? It doesn’t smell bad – it’s not a commitment – email your name and id number to sgramsay@colby.edu if you’re interested. Let’s be real, even I live there.

GUSTOV IS SELLING SKIS: you want ‘em? $220 take that! They’re sick!
