Last night's meeting

Thanks to everyone who came to the meeting last night. We got a lot of work done. In the future, we'll have fewer things to go over and meetings will be a lot shorter. Some of the things we talked about are:

Fall Break Trip: We voted to go backpacking in Joyce Kilmer in North Carolina for Fall Break. A lot of people signed up, so if you want to go, contact Luke or me as soon as possible. To those of you who have signed up, we'll let you know when we plan the details of the trip.

Upcoming trips: We will post announcements on the blog for each of these trips, but here's a quick summary

Bird walk, this thursday at 8 A.M., meet in front of Woods
Bug Out, this thursday at 5:15 P.M., meet in front of Woods
Owling, Tuesday, Oct 3, at 8:30 P.M., meet at Morgan's Steep

Dr. Potter offered to take a group to Lost Cove this fall. We'll let you know when we can go. Potter also suggested that we have an evening to play music one night this fall.

We appointed Luke Padgett as Patrician (plainly, president), Elspeth Iralu as Viceroy (vice pres), and Angie Langevin and John Trimble as Curators (documenters of trips).

The biodiversity spotlight focused on the praying mantis and copperhead snake.
(Note: Dr. Shaver, Luke, and I released the snake in the woods this morning.)

Please come to our next meeting in two weeks to share your ideas for trips and projects.
