- Updates.
- Colby– A lot of water sports trips coming up, some sunrise paddles as well as a Moosehead trip the weekend of Sept. 29-Oct. 1.
- Ethan– Info on the IKON Passes will go out in an email through Bates Engage soon.
- Colby– Katahdin trip went well, but not enough inclusion of the trip leaders in the planning. However, this was the first big trip within turnover of leadership so it is just an important note moving forward.
- Maybe meet with leaders more frequently, and share all details about the trip. Maybe a full meeting before every trip with the leaders?

- Shenny– A lot of great trips going out, and people are excited so let’s keep up the energy and communication.
