*Also, as I’m sure most of you have noticed, gear proposals have become particularly annoying recently. Stay tuned for an email from Chris, your trusty parliamentarian, regarding a potential plan to change them up a little bit. Make sure you read his email so we can discuss it. *

Stories:

Koby has a proposition: Informational activity, word of the day, etc. at meetings. Sounds good to me.

 

Here’s the first one:

Climbing word of the night: to hamster (v) (ham-stir). The act of pulling oneself up with arms parallel in front of the body. This motion looks like a hamster feeding itself.

Sentence: “Whoa, Bro, your arms must be jacked! That was one gnarly hamster.”

Hope your breaks are filled with sunshine, deep snow, and good times.
