We will be meeting at the Marietta Park and Ride at 7:00am to carpool from Atlanta. Those who wish to meet us at the T-Wall parking lot should plan to be there around 9:30am Eastern time.
Hope you all have been enjoying the holidays!! The year has of course gone by quick with lots of great climbing done:) The club meeting will be on Tuesday, January 3rd, 7:00 at The Harp 1425 Market Blvd, Roswell, GA 770-645-0118. Our Speaker will be David Sypes and he will talk about his Mexico canyon and Half Dome hike trips. We have selected a new board for the 2012 year, which happens to be the club’s 20th anniversary. I would like to thank the 2011 board for all the hard work.
So here are the results:
President = Denmark
Trip Coordinator = Tim
Program Coordinator = Jim
Access/Trail Days = Kelly
Communications = Jen
Past President = Chuck
Treasurer = Cathi
One more thing…..Cathi would like to remind everyone that being a new year also means dues are due…
The club trip is this Saturday; the destination is originally set for Tallulah Gorge. However, this may have to change; it was brought to our attention that the park would not give out climbing permits last Sunday due to there being dew on the rock. In the event of damp rock plan B will be Currahee Mountain. If the gorge trip is canceled we will try and reschedule it for the January trip. We will meet at 7:00 at the Indian Trial Park and Ride.
As many of you have heard by now, Jerry Dodgen passed away early this week. Jerry was a founding member of the Atlanta Climbing Club, and helped mentor many climbers from Atlanta and beyond over the years.
A memorial service will be held at 2pm this Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Oglethorpe Hill Chapel of H.M. Patterson & Son. Here is the address:
4550 Peachtree Road NE Atlanta, GA 30319We will be postponing the Tallulah Gorge climbing trip till the following weekend (Dec. 17). More details will follow about that soon.
On Tuesday, Dec. 6 we’ll be having our annual Holiday Party at the Harp Irish Pub in Roswell. Food will be provided, and drinks will be available for purchase from the pub. Friends, family and visitors are welcome to come along and join in the festivities. The party starts at 7:00pm.
For those interested in participating, we’ll be doing a white elephant gift exchange again this year. Gifts should be (somehow) climbing-related, and preferably in the $20 – $25 range. Guests are in no way required to participate in the gift exchange, but you have to bring a gift to get a gift!
Thanks to everyone for another wonderful year of climbing and friendship. I look forward to seeing you at the party!
We sent an email out to all paid members today regarding voting for next year’s board members. If you didn’t receive a voting email, please contact us and let us know!
