Outdoors Club at Pitt

Hello beautiful people! I hope you got my email about the SOOS thing, I probably could have included that here, but I didn't want to work with writing an email around a forwarded message soooo, you're getting two! But just two don't fret! I lied in the SOOS email, I hope you can forgive me. :) First! Our Officer Interest Meeting. This is coming up real quicklike, because wow, it's basically  already February, who's doing this? This meeting is THIS TUESDAY at 8:45 est. Kira has put together a beautiful flyer so bop: Wowwwwwww so pretty, that's got all the stuff you need sooooo yeah! Please come if you are interested in being an officer, again, per my previous update email, do not be an officer if you don't want to deal with managerial responsibilities. We love our senders (and officers send too) but responsibility is a big thing with being an officer so yeah! SECOND We have a club feedback form! We are pretty much all new to leading this club and are really t...

Here comes a thing, do do do do Here comes a thing, and I said It's alright... Oop, Kira said she loves the song, but doesn't want me to call this thing "alright" my b. Oh and it's also misleading because there's multiple things. So all around, terrible start my bad. Take two Hello everyone! There's stuff coming up! 1) We have a litter pickup in Schenley this Saturday at 11am at Flagstaff hill. Our chair Owen was walking by when he noticed that it was cluttered with garbage and that's a shame. So we wanna do something about that. If you're interested, please come by with a love of nature in your heart, we will provide bags and gloves, but if you want to bring your own, that's helpful too! Please also fill out the interest form if you're coming so we know how many people to expect! https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLSe-FeU8dDca7sEx59_BoX6ZwuuMr1pFH8guWrFd4bo9b0Q_xQ%2Fvie...

Hello all! Hope you all had a wonderful winter break and gorged yourself on all the holiday goodies and are deeply interested to get back outside! I'm also hoping that my vague, and somewhat alarming title of this email grabbed your attention, though it is a bit misleading. I merely mean to say that the club is currently hibernating! It is winter, it is cold, and a lot of our offerings are significantly dampened by cold weather and especially the wonderful snow we just received! We will absolutely return this semester with a vengeance because the outdoors must be explored and we must do so, but as of right now, it's still a wee bit too chilly to get back out there and get sendy. We will likely get warmed up with some smaller, local Pittsburgh activities like a Schenley hike or something, and we'll also hold meetings (maybe on zoom, maybe in a rented space on campus, tbd) to prep everyone for all the fun plans we have! But again, as of right now, don't fret, you're n...

For one last time this semester, Hello Beautiful People! It's been an interesting semester, lots still to do, but lots done too and so much of it is thanks to all you lovely people coming out and showing your love and appreciation for the outdoors. And boy howdy, we've got one more for you! This Saturday or Sunday we will be holding a little stroll through Schenley (not all of Schenley, this is a small trek) and would like to gauge interest/availability. So, if you're interested, please take the time to vote for your day in this bitty interest form (it will legit take 10 seconds). We'd love to see you there! https://forms.gle/1vEgFuVt1vrgXoyw5 As for me, it's been a true pleasure emailing everyone, and the reception to my emails has been really sweet. I wish you all the best on your finals and hope that you're snuggled up by the fire with some cocoa waiting for dear Saint Nick to trespass on your property before you know it. If you celebrate something other than...

Hello Beautiful People! I think this is gonna be a pretty brief email, so let's see if my hunch is correct! We did NOT have Breakneck this past weekend due to inclimate weather, we are working on rescheduling this, those who were put on the first trip will get priority to go on the rescheduled one! We have Cherry Springs coming up! Two weekends away, to be precise! We held signups at the meeting and are providing the opportunity here too:  https://forms.gle/8bdAKFRD7Qq6wCcA9 We will endeavor to make the roster quickly in order to get you the info quickly! Plantsburgh is an event that is being held in the WPU lower lounge on November 8th at 3pm, if you want to hear from some speakers and get some free plants, please attend! Pumpkin recycling (pumpkins must be *untreated*) is happening this Thursday and the next Thursday in the WPU plaza from 10:30am to 2pm. Also, we had some lovely Art of Making students in our meeting today, it's a difficult class, both Kira and I are alums and...

Hello beautiful people! What a crispy cold day! I very much understand why you may not have joined us today, if you did, more power to you! Power aside, we will be indoors meeting through the rest of the semester because of temperatures that we anticipate will continue to drop, unfortunately that does mean masks, but it also means a lack of hypothermia so that's dope too. We will be in Lawrence 232! This past weekend we had Soergal's! Many apples bought and emancipated from life immediately, apple cider was ingested, goats were pet, pumpkins were observed, and only a few people had to reverse on the interstate to make it. We are two straight trips with a car breaking down. Luckily one has already gotten better! This weekend we have breakneck, signups are being rolled out late and this is a limited trip, the roster should be coming out tomorrow sometime. Climbing at breakneck is open for all, beginner friendly, but there are some challenges out there for you sendy folks too! We ...

Hello beautiful people! In place of McConnell's Mill this weekend (long story, officer cars are up and down), we will be having a trip to Soergals! It's a quaint little farm with apples and pumpkins and fall vibes? Will be from 9:30ish to 2-3ish, if you're planning on going to the football game, so are others, cars will be going! If interested, please sign-up SOON, the roster is being made tomorrow:  https://forms.gle/dmxMq44a7ou35XRQ6 In two weekends, count em, that's halloweekend, we will have a day trip to breakneck! This is a climbing trip, friendly for beginners and pros alike, bouldering is available as is top rope! We plan to take about 25-30 people out, there will be sign-ups at our next meeting! Last but not least, we regretfully will not be holding a trip to Seneca Falls this fall, various issues from lack of caving to lack of hiking means we will be pushing this trip to the spring so we can work on a better plan and make sure this trip is worth the multiple h...
