Hey NUHOC!

We’ll do our announcements and trip signups and then head to the quad for our annual Halloween pumpkin bash!

Don’t miss out on an exciting meeting this week! We’ll be meeting in our usual Behrakis 220 on Wednesday 10/20 at 7:30 PM, do a quick introduction and then we will be making a group trip to go rock climbing using the punch cards you get along with your $10 membership! One group will take the T and another will bike to the gym. Make sure to bring your CharlieCard/T money and your Husky ID (if you have a NUHOC membership card, you can bring that too). 

If you don’t have a NUHOC membership card you are still welcome to come, and you can still climb by purchasing a day pass at the gym. Everyone who’s purchased a membership card also gets two free punches so you can bring a friend if you want too. 

We’ll also be taking signups for Open Loj this weekend (10/22-24) pending an opening LC. Hope to see you there!

First off Ladies+ weekend was a blast and we thank all of you that were able to come! Looking forward to next weekend, we are holding a general meeting TOMORROW night in Behrakis 220 at 7:30 PM. Here we’ll explain more of the logistics behind NUComers, such as what to bring on this fine trip. Please also keep an eye out for communications from Matt and Charlie who are running this trip so that you don’t miss anything important from them as well! See you there!

Do you 1) identify as a lady 2) like the outdoors? If you answered yes to both of these questions we hope to see you up at the Loj this weekend for this year’s rendition of Ladies+ Weekend! Signups will be taken for this trip at our general meeting which is going to be tomorrow night, 9/29 at 7:30 PM in Behrakis 220. If you’re planning on being at the Loj or really in the woods at any point in the future you won’t want to miss this meeting as we will be hearing from one of our own members, Natalie about the 10 essentials you need for any hiking or backpacking trip!
