March 7th, 2018

So like -3 (yeah, -3) people showed up to meeting, which is not the best attendance we've ever had.  Clearly, loyalty is something we need to work on.  Fortunately, Ben Ross has succumbed to his injuries and a new, stronger leader has seized power.  May Katie lead Forestry Club to greatness.  I strongly suggest you all come to next meeting, or she will find you.

 

Special shout-out to Tara Harmon, who made a special appearance at this meeting even when the lesser weaklings of club failed.  

 

P.S.

There I was sitting in the 134 midterm, when whaddya know the fire alarm goes off.  So I did this murderous exam out on the lawn next to Mulford.  Now,  I promise I'm not mad but who did it.  I want names.

After the meeting ended, some guy came in wanting to talk to us, but he was too late.  Camila talked to him though. Here’s what she had to say

 

“A man named Joseph Loe came in after most people had left. He said that he works with a organization called Pathagoras Ecology Work on a program to create a zero emission mill in Stockton. They are trying to get PG&E to give them their beetle-killed logs to make furniture and biomass out of them and he wanted our help/ideas in how to get PG&E to give them the logs”

 

Thanks Camila.  If anyone has any ideas, let someone know.

Here’s his email: josephloe@yahoo.com
