For those who found that previous sentence confusing, essentially we had a bunch of lovely new peeps at the meeting this Sunday (hi friends!) and we did a name circle (again, whoop whoop).<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Sam was (once again) absent from the meeting this weekend because apparently trips to go rock climbing with your sister in Colorado are more important than your duties as a sexcretary. Whatever, I\u2019m over it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">WE BROKE FOR FALL, HERE\u2019S WHAT WE DONE DID:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Amy, Jake, Anna, and Don went to Vermont to get Sara from the mountains and bring her home. Sara was the president of the COC last year and she was working as a caretaker on the Long Trail this fall; she is now an expert in things like yelling aggressively about alpine vegetation and composting poop. We should all strive to be like Sara (literally y r u so cool? teach me ur ways).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Bossis (Chloe included), Sam, and Abby went adventuring through New Hampshire and Vermont. They too tried to find Sara but they JUST missed her. Upon reaching the summit they\u00a0saw her hiking away and called after her&#8230; but their efforts were futile. This, kids, is what we call a damn tragedy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Duncan, Sage, Anna, Anna, Dalton, Will, Logan, and Rachel went paddling. They canoed up around Rangeley. There was blood, sweat, tears, and Logan got naked multiple times\u2026by himself. Concerning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jake, Park, SJ, Sarah, Lisa, and WOLFDOG aka Ryan Linehan went to Big Eddy campground and did some fun white water paddling. There was no nudity but things were v wet (I still don&#8217;t think both of these phrases should\u2019ve been stated in the same sentence but c\u2019est la vie). The trip was UNREAL.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">PJ, Mickey, Tevis, and Tanner \u201cJesus died for our sends\u201d Boucher went on one of two Colby Mountaineering club trips. They went climbing in the whites in North Conway. There was learning, blood, sweat, maybe tears, and definitely lots of sending.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lilli, Scott, Austin, Spencer, Fini, Julia (me!), and lots of other LOVELY folks went on the other CMC trip. We climbed in Acadia. There were sea cliffs, and slabs, and crack climbing, and panda and unicorn costumes, \u2019twas #illuminated.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Big Ronnie hiked the Bigelows over fall break (Logan got very excited when she said this and did a lil jig in his seat). There was FOR SURE blood, sweat, tears, and nudity \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Eli went to Nova Scotia, he found some good waves.

Rap battles to the death were had (ok maybe not to the death, but still).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Joe, Duncan, Logan and others went to Canadia where they got woody and muddy with some Canadians.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Julia (me again, how exciting!) and others went to Acadia on Saturday will BILL our ecology professor *starts chanting Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill from Bill Nye theme song* where Bill spewed straight knowledge about e-co-lo-gies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE IMMINENT FUTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Keenan wants to lead a trip\u2026more info TBA.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There will be a roll clinic this Wednesday in da pool.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This Saturday the cross country team will be having NESCACs at Quarry Road, come cheer on and wear costumes (Bates definitely won\u2019t be wearing costumes)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sunday River will be opening this Friday or Saturday. \u201cHow cool will it be to ski all morning and then get glittered by Kesha all night?!?!?\u201d &#8211; Spencer Martin<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE FUTURE FUTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our next Leader Training Trip will be held November 4th &#8211; 6th.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">WFA (another necessary part of the leader process) will be happening on the 12th and 13th.
