First Meeting of the Semester

Welcome back NUHOCers!
Our first meeting of the semester will be today, Wednesday the 13th at 7:30 PM, in 108 Snell Engineering. Come on by and tell us about your awesome winter break adventures and see what trips we have lined up for this spring. In the meantime, here’s a little ski ballet to get you through your day. I’m sensing a possible new Winter Carnival event..?

A Message from Our Lodge Committee Chair

Hello NUHOC,

Eleven months ago we lost our beloved Brown Memorial Lodge to fire. There has never been any doubt that we would rebuild, and today we are happy to announce a design competition for the next Loj! You must be a current Northeastern student to submit a design, but collaboration between designers and alumni is highly encouraged. The deadline for submissions is January 20, 2016.

The original Lodge Design, an Introduction to the Lodge, and Lodge History documents can be found on the NUHOC website. They are definitely worth the read to get a sense of the meaning of the Loj to NUHOCers over the past 44 years.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Happy designing!

Best,
David Butler
NUHOC, Lodge Committee Chair

Last Meeting of 2015 Tomorrow!

HI FRENDZ,

This Wednesday will be the last NUHOC meeting ever of 2015! “EVER?!” YES EVER! SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?! You’re going to come to this final meeting, that’s what, and support your pals who are up for election! Then you’re going to stop feeling sad, because we’ll be back at it soon enough in Spring 2016. So come for one last hurrah in 200 Richards at 7:30 PM, where we’ll be voting to determine the most worthy E-Board candidates for spring semester. “But I just don’t wanna say goodbye yet!” you say? That’s dandy too, because if you have extra guest swipes that you don’t want to go to waste, your retiring fall E-Board members would be happy to help you use them by being swiped into a dining hall by you!! We goon dining hall! And after filling ourselves with scrumptious food, we pooon dining hall? Don’t miss elections, and help us make a Final Fall Feast a poossibility!

Meeting Tomorrow

HI FRENDZ,

After a long two weeks, we are gathering on Wednesday at 7:30 PM in 200 Richards. This is one meeting you won’t want to miss, and I’m even more fo realz than usual this time, because it’s FLANNEL FORMAL! Everyone wear your best flannel shirts, and we’ll celebrate the culminating semester potluck style. Bring delicious foods and snacks to show everyone how kitchen (or grocery store) savvy you are! Seriously, when you make good foods, you make good friends. But wait, there’s more… The end of the semester approaches, so we’ll be having nominations for spring semester E-Board members! If you’re looking to get more involved with NUHOC, maybe this is where you step up. Nominate your friends or nominate yourselves or just witness people nominating people. In flannel! Eating food!

Bad nature joke of the week: What do you call the wildlife attending our meeting this week?
Flannimals!
(To my knowledge, there won’t actually be any flannimals in attendance this week other than Keiji.)

No Meeting Tomorrow

HI FRENDZ,

This post will be brief so that we’re not stuffing too much info into your heads. There will be no meat-ing tomorrow, since you’ll get plenty of turkey on Thursday instead. Fear not, wipe that grave-y look off your face and go enjoy the holiday! Maybe even do some studying so you won’t have to cram-berry much for finals. Happy Thanksgiving from NUHOC, and we’ll see you next thyme!

Bad holiday-themed joke of the week: Why did Shakespeare skip Thanksgiving?
Because there was too Much Ado About Stuffing!

Meeting Tomorrow

HI FRENDZ,

This week we’re shaking things up a bit and meeting on Wednesday at 7:30 PM in 200 Richards. “But that’s the same as usual,” you say? Yep you’re right, it is. We will, however, be given a rare treat during our usual meeting–a presentation from one of our dedicated NUHOC members! That’s right, come toMorrow’s talk about his trail work in New Mexico last summer. You’ll also want to come hear about the increasingly-winter-related trips happening!

Bad nature joke of the week: Why did that jerk miss the NUHOC meeting?
Because someone told him to go take a hike, so he did since today is Take a Hike Day.

Bonus fun fact: Yesterday, 11/16, was Have a Party with Your Bear Day.

Bonus bonus fun fact: There are probably no jerks in NUHOC.

No Meeting Tomorrow

HI FRENDZ,

In observance of Veterans Day, NUHOC will not be holding a meeting this Wednesday. Enjoy your break from classes and keep in mind those who have served our country! To celebrate, some of our NUHOC pals will be gathering to watch a pretty G.N.A.R.ly movie that’s totally not related to the holiday… This will occur in 200 Richards on Wednesday around 7:30 PM. Come hang out!

Bad military joke of the week: “Do submarine captains get paid well?”
“I don’t know man, but I’ve heard they can’t keep their heads above water.”

Meeting Tomorrow

HI FRENDZ,

This week we are meeting, as usual, on Wednesday at 7:30 PM in 200 Richards Hall. We’ve got some cool trips happening that you know you’ll want the deets on, including time up in the Whites and some stuff for LCTs, new and old!

Bad nature joke of the week: Why did the NUHOCers at Hallowork Weekend scare off nonpredatory wildlife?
Because they were building cool new loj things with their bear hands!
(Thanks for the pun idea, Leah!)

Meeting Tomorrow

HI FRENDZ,

Our meeting this week will be on Wednesday at 7:30 PM in 200 Richards Hall. You know the drill, come hang out, learn about upcoming trips, hear from cool people, make new friends, and be stoked about the nature!

Bad holiday-themed joke of the week: Which Halloween nom-nom did Julia bring to the meeting?
Candy KERN!
