hostel meeting

9:41pm CDT Wednesday 11 April 2001

HI

Through no fault of your own, I haven't written a few significant events lately. Before I summarize them (nothing that amazing), I'll describe my most recent possible volunteer thing.

I attended the board meeting of Bluebonnet Council of Hostelling International, which I learned about when I called them a few weeks ago after returning from Australia and talking to Bryn.

Super informal meeting; they didn't even comment that I wore no shoes. David showed some slides from his bicycle tour through the Alps (I think), and then they talked about plans for the next few meetings.

Attendance has been low to the meetings; I will help with advertising. Because they are free, I can likely get a PSA announced on KTRU.

I will also put together a web site cost proposal so they can sell Europe Rail Passes and other hostelling stuffs.

The next presentation is Monday April 16th at 7pm at REI on I-10. That's when David will give the real slide show of his Europe bike trek, so you can come check it out! I don't know the address of REI, but it's the big outdoor equipment store on I-10 near Antoine maybe.

Then there will be a presentation on Saturday 21 April at like 10am at 2656 South Loop West, Suite 510. The building is behind Bennigan's just West of Kirby. This will be a presentation of how to travel safely and inexpensively. I will present some of this meeting - how to acquire passports and visas and general safety stuff.

So come check out these events!
