Outdoors Club at Pitt

That's right folks, it's the POC meeting minutes, and we're here with your host, Nick Penatzer {aka the secretary, [aka whitewater chair, (aka some other nicknames I don't really care for...POC Ninja)]}       Errhmmm, anyway, if you are reading this, it means you (YES YOU!!!) have been graciously accepted into the greatest organization known to man, or at least the University of Pittsburgh. So here's a big welcome from all of us to you mountain men, water women, cave creatures, and those somewhere in the middle. So sit back, relax, and enjoy all this email has to offer (WARNING: the surgeon general indicates that use of this email can lead to ignoring homework, spending money on outdoorsy things, and eventually living out of a van) First things first.

Hello everyone, First, if you are interested in removing yourself from the email list please go to https://list.pitt.edu/mailman/listinfo/poc and about 2/3 of the way down the page enter your address in the unsubscribe field. Second, we have a meeting tomorrow night on the William Pitt Union patio (the one the faces the cathedral).  It should be a pretty casual get together, but we will be accepting waivers and dues. We will also spend some time introducing the officers and talking about trips.   Ideally you can print out a waiver ( http://www.pittoutdoors.com/waiver.pdf )  and bring it. (protip: print at 50%, put two on one page of paper, and give one to a friend. Cheers to the planet)  We will have copies of the waiver if you can't find a printer prior to the meeting.  We will also be collecting dues: 15 for the year or 10 for the semester. Cheers, Matt
