Meeting Notes from 3/10/2009

Howdy folks, here are some of the topics we discussed at the meeting on Tuesday.

1. We will be having a cookout on Monday March 23rd at the Woodsmen Team shed at 5:00.
2. We hope to be able to schedule a guest speaker from the American Chestnut Foundation for Monday March 30th. More details to follow.
3. We will be having Bob Pinkston lead a trip up to Shining Rock followed by a ramp hunt on Saturday April 4th. There is the possibility of a fish fry using those ramps following the trip. A sign up sheet will be posted on the FC bulletin board.
4. Frank has ordered the new FC T-shirts, and I must say they are sharp! Price will be $10 for club members and $15 for non club members.
5. We need every able bodied man and woman who is interested in competing in the Mid-Atlantic Woodsmen Meet to get up to the shed and practice. Please recruit folks when you can, as we would like to have a good showing in Maryland.
6. Elections for the next semesters club officers will be held following the Mid-Atlantic meet, so be thinking about who you would like to lead you next semester.

That's all folks!

FC Club notes

Hey guys and gals, I just have a few things this week.

1. The Mid-Atlantic woodsmen meet is going to be April 17th through 18th, a schedule of events is available on the display case outside the Naural Resources office. All potential competitors need to be attending practice regularly until then. THIS IS A BIG DEAL!
2. The hiking trip to Shining Rock is still on for Sunday Feb. 22. All folks interested in attending are encourage to attend the meeting on Tuesday Feb. 17 in room 310, where Bob Pinkston will be going over what to bring, and what to expect.
3. The HCC SGA would like some help manning the booth this weekend Saturday Feb. 14 in the Wal-Mart parking lot for helping with "Teddys for Troopers". Anyone interested should contact a FC Club officer for more information.
4. Timberbeast, VT's woodsmen event, is going to be Friday Feb. 27 for all interested. This isn't going to be club sponsored, so anyone wanting to go will need to provide their own transportation, and sleeping arrangements. All interested get with me (Bill), and if we have enough, we can decide whether or not we want to caravan up.

That's all folks!
