Spring Bar Crawl

Monday, April 7th, 2008 11:05 pm by Falling Illini

Hey all,

So it’s time to start collecting your money. Daniel sent out an email earlier containing the designs and you can view them again on the club website. The price of the shirts is $15. Even if you can’t make it out with us, everyone needs another tshirt, especially one with skydiving pigs on it. This semester we will be taking orders and money through paypal. This way you’ll be able to make the purchase without even leaving the comfort of your rooms and the computer will keep a nice log of names and sizes for me.

PLEASE PLACE YOUR ORDERS BY WEDNESDAY APRIL 9 (4/9) so I can place the final order. Along with placing your order you can vote for the location of the last bar. The link to purchase shirts is in the attached file. REMEMBER: Barcrawl is THURSDAY APRIL 17TH.

See you all soon Laura

Season Opener!

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 9:44 pm by Falling Illini

Hey skydivers! This Saturday is a very special day. It’s Safety Day at Archway Skydiving Centre.  This is special because it’s kind of like a season opener for the dropzone.  If you are uncurrent then you can get recurrency training for free! There will also be other activities going on, as well as Van’s Twin Otter. If you haven’t seen or jumped this plane then you need to come out, because it’s awesome!

So if you want to go email me your name, number, which day, what jump you want to do, and if you can drive. Hope to see you this weekend.

Blue skies!

- Daniel

Hey skydivers! Thanks to all of you who showed your support at the Aviation Career Night. The Falling Illini had a booth there and we spread information, flyers, and stickers for the club. We even got a few excited people and soon to be students to sign up for the mailing list. It was great!
