Thanks to the 250+ people that made it out to the first meeting of the year!!! If you missed it, fear not we will have more meetings and more times for you to check out the club.
If you are interested in Membership or have any questions about the Club we will have a table out in front of Sturm Hall on the Driscoll Lawn Monday-Thursday from about 10:30-3:00 (or so). Come by and talk to one of the officers about the club, sign-up for the membership, or just kick it with other outdoor people.
If you received a raffle ticket at the meeting we will be having the raffle next Wednesday at 8:00pm in Lindsay Auditorium (RM 281) in Sturm Hall. You must be present to win prizes such as backpacks, snow-googles, t-shirts, and maybe even a date with one of the officers…only if you are real lucky.
Get ready for the first meeting of the year…our biggest and craziest one that will happen. We pack the entire auditorium with tons of DU students that love the outdoors just like you. We will get you pumped as we show-off our upcoming trips and events for the upcoming Quarter. Additionally we will be giving away a bunch of free gear, will be showing a bunch of cool outdoor movie clips, and will cause some trouble…
As we said this is the biggest Alpine Club event we have each year; each of our trips range in size from 10-45 people depending on the type of trip. You can learn more about our trips here.
