OMP! update

OMP!!

This is first off a reminder that the core group meeting that was scheduled for Thursday has been moved to May 5th. Thursday is Dine Out For Life, one of UCAN's major fund raisers, and Stonewall's Birthday fund raiser at Jakes. Instead of having a normal meeting, we are meeting up at 12:00 to have lunch at Darbie's and to support Dine Out for Life.

Also, we wanted to remind everyone about the zoo trip we are having this Saturday, April 30th. We are all meeting at 12:00 at UCAN and Carpooling together to Tacoma. The cost for the Zoo is 8.75 a person. Let us know if you would like to go but can't afford it.

OMP! is having a sushi making party/sex discussion on Monday, May 22nd from 6-9 at Joseph's house. This will be the follow up to the OMP! session we had on Monday, April 18th and should be similar to the sex talk barbecues. It would be awesome if all the guys in OMP! could go to this. If you plan on coming and want directions to Joseph's house please call or email us.

If you want more information about anything please give us a call 352-2375 or email.

We hope everyone is doing well.

Nature stroll a success!

A big wonderful hug (and a kiss if you want it) to everyone who came to the nature stroll at McClane Creek last sunday. Shame on everyone else. No, just kidding. No shame on anybody.

Anyway, we had a great time mincing around the forest and talking about nature and stuff, you know. John and Joseph bought lunch and we had a fabulous picnic by the stream. I gave everyone a lesson in plant sexual anatomy, not quite as exciting as some other organisms' anatomy but still hot in a strange, botanical sort of way, and much more socially acceptable. Know what I mean? Oh, nevermind!

We saw:
  • Trilliums
  • Wood ducks
  • Licorice fern (tasty!)
  • Bleeding hearts (tragic!)
  • Violets
  • Skunk cabbage (stinky!)
  • Decomposing salmon skeletons (icky!)
  • Big tree stumps
  • Salmonberry
  • Bedstraw (sticky!)
  • A beaver pond and dam
  • Willows
  • Bear tracks
  • Joseph the bridge troll (silly!)
  • And lots more!
It was fabulous. Next time, perhaps we shall head to the prairies to see all the wildflowers blooming on the mysterious Mima mounds and get serenaded by the sounds of gunshots from the rifle range next door. How romantic.

Until next time, OMPonauts.
