BOC MINUTES \u2013 FEBRUARY 12, 2014<\/p>\n
ANNOUNCEMENTS<\/p>\n
Matt Baker-White: wait\u2026what?<\/p>\n
Matt send Allie a lengthy email that can be summed up by saying that Cottonwood Gulch, the non-profit outdoor education place in New Mexico that he\u2019s working for, is hiring. Matt said in the email that he has had a \u201csuper fun time\u201d working there, and that there are \u201csuper super<\/em> cool positions open.\u201d Allie has also worked there and confirms the coolness. More information to follow? Allie will forward the e-mail.<\/p>\n Allie: Someone wants to come talk about people climbing the Tibetan plateau. Word on the street is it\u2019s a really good talk, but the fee is $500!! Don\u2019t fret, we could probably swing this using the co-sponsorship fund. The speaker would come in April and is also willing to present in a classroom setting about expedition planning, which he wrote a book about. Allie will send a follow-up email over break so everyone can mull it over.<\/p>\n Side note, Sabes is also in touch with the first openly gay person to climb Mt. Everest, he might be coming too.<\/p>\n Hannah Goldberg: Max Goldberg, sibling of Hannah and Bates class of 2013 is working at Best Made Co., which our own Brian Kennedy deemed \u201chip\u201d based on the name alone. They make really cool axes. FANCY axes. And they\u2019re offering internships this summer in New York City! Apparently they want kids like the ones in BOC to come work for them (who wouldn\u2019t), and Hannah will send out an email with the deets soon. P.S. if you work for them, you get a free fancy ax! Someone should do it for the good of the club\u2019s ax collection.<\/p>\n JUDY: has a question: will there be a BOC banquet at the end of second semester?<\/p>\n Answer: YES. Allie will talk to Holly and report back.<\/p>\n Allie: The PE van is ours for all of break!! That wasn\u2019t the announcement. Allie\u2019s frenemy Carol in PE is reminding her on a weekly basis that there is a mileage chart in the van that MUST BE FILLED OUT! Maybe the week after break will be the first week that Allie doesn\u2019t get an email. FILL IT OUT.<\/p>\n Reminder: you have to get the keys from Carol\u2019s office in Alumni because she doesn\u2019t trust us at all. If you don\u2019t return them by Sunday night, Allie gets another email. If you sign the van out for break and lose the keys, Allie doesn\u2019t even know, so DON\u2019T. Clarification: do sign the keys out, don\u2019t lose them.<\/p>\n TRIPS<\/p>\n John Barbadoro will not be skinning, he will be skiing, but everyone is uninvited. It\u2019s very exclusive.<\/p>\n Alex has a trip for \u201ctonight or tomorrow\u201d: he wants to go outside and camp somewhere in the four season tents!! There are two four-season tents so 5 or 6 people can come. There will not be an email, so if you\u2019re reading this and want to go now, email or text Alex. His phone number is 203-907-5014, as many people that can fit in the tents are welcome. His plan is literally to walk into the woods and sleep in a tent because he has no car.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Josh will go up to \u201cthe mountain\u201d over break several times over break and is willing to \u201cscoop up folks\u201d who want to go: read ya emails next week if you\u2019re interested<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GEAR<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brian Kennedy was talking to Josh about his car, which handles storms poorly.<\/p>\n Josh has a tractor at home that has cool chains and they were thinking how cool it would be if Brian\u2019s car had chains? So, SHOULD WE GET CHAINS FOR THE VAN? They will look into it further.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n STORIES<\/p>\n Euan went to Tucks with Sean and it was \u201cpretty cool.\u201d They ran into a Colby alum who confirmed that Colby\u2019s outing club sucks. Old news. Euan somehow made this story into a trip proposal, and said that he will be heading up to Tucks again after break.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n EUAN IS THE CULPRIT FOR ONE OF THE MISSING BEACONS!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n EUAN ALSO HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT AS WELL AS A STORY AND A TRIP PROPOSAL: the e-room will be open tomorrow instead of Friday. Tall boy Thursday will be celebrated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chrissy hasn\u2019t been to a meeting for a really long time but she went to Antarctica for a while over break and was on a Japanese whaling ship, not the rat infested ship or the ship that got stuck. TURNS OUT she kind of did get stuck, a propeller broke so they couldn\u2019t get to any of the geological sites that they wanted to see. They got stuck between two storms in 30-foot swells for THREE DAYS. A lot of people got seasick; Chrissy didn\u2019t though because she\u2019s a BOCer. Stairwells are scary under those conditions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tanner came late so he had to tell a story, but unfortunately for us he was \u201cfresh out\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s all for tonight. Have a good break kids, perhaps next time we gather Bryan will return to his post.<\/p>\n Yours,<\/p>\n Daly Anne Johnson III<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BOC MINUTES \u2013 FEBRUARY 12, 2014 ANNOUNCEMENTS Matt Baker-White: wait\u2026what?
