Hey everyone! Great game of Sardines with Avalanche Beacons! Congrats to
those who saved Kate...and congrats to those of us that didn't find Kate but
made new friends ;0) Anyhoo, if you joined us tonight, here's a review of
all that information that we threw at you, or if you weren't there, then
here's what you missed!

1. Next Trip: Hola Osceola!
   a. October 22-24 is the next rock climbing trip in Osceola, Missouri. I"m
pretty sure it's limestone climbing, mostly top rope and some sport climbing
   b. The cost should be around $35-40
   c. So check out your schedule and come to next week's meeting knowing
whether or not you can go on this trip! We'll get everyone's names next week
and then trip dues will be due the week following that.

2. Thanksgiving trip: Fiesta de Pavo en Rio de Rojo!
   a. This is just to let you know that the Thanksgiving trip will be going
to Red River Gorge, Kentucky! We haven't gotten any of the details figured
out yet, but it'll probably be around $65 for like 4 days of climbing. So
keep this trip in mind when planning your holidays. We will send out more
emails with more details later once it gets closer to Thanksgiving!

3. Next Week's Meeting
   a. Our old President Eric Redmond will be in town and he'll be teaching
us about first aid in the wilderness. We'll be playing a game of it, so
bring your competitive nature, and see how well you know what to do when
Mother Nature decides she doesn't like you that much.

4. Van Training
   a. Please, if you're at least 20 years old and don't have a terrible
driving record, take the large passenger van training class and test. The
test is for free, but we desperately need mroe drivers for trips. The dates
of the trainings will be posted on our homepage.

5. Climbing Gyms
   a. Every Wednesday is Wall-Nut Wednesday! There'll be an email sent out
listing a bunch of drivers, so meet a new friend and save the environment
and car pool! Don't you just love multitasking! We usually climb from 7-9pm.
It's $8  and another $3 for shoe rental
   b. For those of us that are busy on Wednesdays, we are trying to figure
out a time that we can have some climbing time at Lied Rec. I'll let you
know when I know more about the specific days and times (probably a Tuesday
or Thursday evening if possible)

Well, I think that's all folks! Hope everyone had a great weekend, and
hopefully see you at Wall-Nut or at next Monday's meeting!
