[Nfb-or] Student Meeting

[Mike Sivill]

Hey guys,
In one of the previous messages someone mentioned that transportation is
doable. I would love to participate and help out with the student affiliate
but I live in Corvallis and haven't discovered a very cost-effective way to
get up to Portland. Any ideas?

Anyone else have a preference of activity? Bill says hiking or climbing, 
Joseph says climbing sounds fun.

Another option is to do just meet at a cafe/restaurant again (how about 
Paccini's again?) and decide there for a climbing/hiking activity in the 
future. Want to try for next week?
