This weekend is a special weekend for Archway and the Falling Illini.  This Saturday is the annual Chili Party at Archway after a day of jumping.  Besides delicious chili Rich Mullins will also have his King Air there. If you have never jumped out of one I highly recommend you come this Saturday.

 If you want to come jumping this weekend, respond to this email with your name, the day you want to go, the jump you want to do, your phone number, and if you can drive.  Come out and go skydiving with us before finals start!

January 22nd starting at 11am is Activity Day in the Union. It is very similar to Quad Day in the fall in that all the RSOs can have booths to promote their organizations.  The Falling Illini has signed up, and we will most likely have a booth during Activity Day.  I will send out more information as it gets closer, but we hope for all of your support when it rolls around.

The Staff Contest is getting very close to ending.  Mike Murphy has two more weekends to defend his lead.  If you have faculty or staff who want to go skydiving, get them out there so you can win that $150 instead!

It’s cold outside, but the Falling Illini keep on skydiving! Congratulations to Kristin Athanas, Benjamin McGill, Caitlin Wolf, Brian Fisher, Bogdan Buricea, Craig Smith, Fernando Marcaini, Karl Steller, Patricia Hernandez, Julia Waldsmith, Peter Dohrn, Siva Gorantla, Mark Steller, Matt Poulos, Joy Waranyuwat, Adva Steiner, and Meghan Possley for all making their first skydives! Another huge congratulations to Hanna Albrecht for getting her A-License! Way to go Hanna! And lastly congratulations to Daniel Bedford for getting his B-License! Mike Murphy is still winning the Staff Skydiving Contest, but there are still 2 weeks left to win that $150.

The Falling Illini Barcrawl was a blast! Those who made it out to the crawl had a chance to win skydiving money at each bar, and a lump sum for the whole thing. Thanks to Justin and Laura for putting together all of the challenges and getting the shirts. We looked great!
