As many of you know, because of a decision by our parent PATC club, the Mountaineering Section can no longer be part of that organization.

This Sunday at 10am at Movement Crystal City there will be a special club meeting on the subject of the club’s incorporation as a legally independent organization and formal separation from PATC.

If you attend one club meeting, make it this one! 

Please register via this link. If you are  not a Movement member you can pay here and get a special discounted rate of $20.  No charge for members but please register so we have a count of likely attendance.

And of course you can go climbing afterwards!

Any questions contact Alex Ovodenko alexovodenko at me.com
