The following activities are available for sign-ups by my office door (room 239 Science). For each one, you must be an ACTIVE Student on the Gainesville Campus of UNG. They are checking 900 numbers, so don’t sign up if you aren’t a current student.

1. $20 - Zipline Trip on April 19th. Awesome activity at the best zipline place around (Historic Banning Mill). We will limit the attendance on this to around 25 people, so don’t wait to sign up. It would cost you $150 to do this on your own. Don’t miss it!

2. $10 - Lantern Run 5k at Piedmont Park in Atlanta on April 18th. Saturday evening race starting at 7PM.

3. $10 – Muddy Duck Dash on April 25th on the Gainesville Campus Trails! This will be an amazing obstacle course/mud run. You don’t have to be a runner, but you will get muddy! $10 for this race is a steal, and I would love for us to have a large group participate!

For any of these activities, you need to sign up at my office by next Thursday (April 2nd). Do not sign up without bringing money!!!! Also, make sure you sign all of the appropriate forms for whichever activity you are doing.

Thanks,
Dr Thomas

Hey lads and lassies
Hope everyone is having a great spring break!! We wanted to see if ya'll would like to go with a gang of us to Panther Creek up near Rabun County this Thursday. If ya'll could meet at the school at 10:00am or at the Panther Creek parking lot at 10:45 that would be awesome! Some of us have been there before and it is a super easy 7 mile there and back trail and it includes an awesome waterfall and swimming hole if you feel up to the challenge for a plunge! If you decide to come be sure to bring some water and snacks! Camelbaks are a great thing to have if you dont want to lug around a water bottle. Hope to see a lot of you there!!

Hey guys don't think we have forgotten you. The past two weeks have been hectic so we haven't had a chance to get together to reschedule the paintball trip or to plan for the ski trip but hopefully sometime next week the leaders can try to figure out when to do all this stuff. Thank you for all your patience.
