Thank you all. What a day! I would like to personally thank Jake, Tyler, John, Libby, Liz, Bridget, Sarah, and Marissa.
We managed to reclaim 900 recyclables. A great effort as well seeing that we received 3 bins of crushed aluminum. The Greeks like to drink.
The Bear Fest was larger than any other, by far, but our costumes raised awareness. Thank you for the volunteerism.

October brings a bagful of treats and events! For starters, this week is fall break (October 15-16). Or, as we students call it, The Long Weekend. We wish it was longer.
Later this month, we’re holding a stenciling fiesta to lively up our recycling bins. Last and best, there’s Halloween Homecoming 2009 on October 31, with a costumed recycling gig during the tailgate party at Bearfest Village.
Our mellow-hearted, steady-souled president, Clay, or I will bring you updates soon. Meanwhile, here’s a teaser. Come Halloween, you might see a blue ox and his woodsman roaming about the parking lot across from Plaster Sports Complex.
Officially the weekend trip is canceled due to inclement weather. Not only would it be soggy, but apparently there is enough water that there is most likely flooding.
Sorry y’all.
Clay
Looking at the rain right now, I am unsure of whether the trip is going or not this weekend. We shall wait and see tomorrow what the weather will be like.
So as it stands, seeing how I don’t have my phone, I will have to contact you by email so we can be on the same page tomorrow.

Curious about sustainability efforts and ecological projects at Missouri State University beyond those sponsored by student organizations? Here are seven places to learn more about our school and the environment.
This is a very brief list to get you started on your search. It’s not meant to be a full-grown field guide.
As you may or may not know, we are going to be working Bearfest Village this weekend. Some of you may be leaving town to go to the Green Festival in St. Louis, or possibly heading out for a weekend of hiking and camping before it gets frigid, or maybe you are going to Bluesfest in Columbia.
Whatever you may be doing won’t change the fact that Domino’s is giving away a coupon for a free medium pizza, anytime, anyplace, to the first 500 students that arrive at Bearfest Village. As in the case of the past two weekends, there hasn’t been more than 200 students, so come out to help and get a free coupon, maybe two . . .
Shine on. Peace.

Despite the loss of a digital camera, keys, a waterproof disposable camera, death to a phone, and a very soggy but successful Viking costume, our past float trip was one to be considered as ‘the glory days’.
Epically fantastic, if I may!
So here is a thank you to all who were in attendance. The first of many trips to come.
Thanks also go out to those who helped at Bearfest Village: John, Libby, Erin, Maddi, Anthony, Tyler, Bridget, Lauren, Boone, Sara, Nicole, Jake, Cassie, Matt, and you if I forgot you. Your help made it one of the better Bearfests in my experience.
Because of our increased presence, sorting and digging for recyclables wasn’t nearly as stomach-turning as it could be. Thank you.
Let’s do it again this weekend and unite our club and the world even stronger.
Peace and Love,
Clay

It’s the start of another school year at Missouri State. Hurray!
This semester we’re meeting on Wednesdays at 5:00 pm in the pit area of Temple Hall. See map to find your way.
We’ve reached the end of the school year. Our club will not meet again until the autumn. However, we’ll still check our blog for comments. And we’ll post new information every so often.
Enjoy the summer!
However long overdue my thank-you is, I would like to gratefully accept my nomination and election to the presidency of the Sierra Club.
I would like to thank my predecessors, Steve Richter, Paul Mejia, and Steven Kramer, who displayed excellence in leadership. As well, I would like to thank our club’s regular members.
I am excited to be part of the cabinet of members who were also duly elected to their office: Jacob Berger as the Vice President, Tyler Stewart as Treasurer, Libby Donohue as Secretary, and Ellen Matheny as our Campaign Director.
I appreciate everybody’s commitment to this organization, volunteerism, and sustaining our social circle. These three points are what I expect to encourage out of myself, and I will try to lead in a manner that will be exciting and fun and beneficial to ourselves, the community, and the world.
Your new president,
Clay Bailey
New thing, let’s use the blog.
