From the President...
Hello everybody!
Kimberly Wander is our new Community Service Coordinator and she will
be organizing our community service events (see the right hand column
for contact information).
For those of you guys that are interested in paddling but cannot
make the practice times shoot me an e-mail with your available times
and I'll try to rearrange the schedule in order to have one that works
for most of us.
We need all the help that we can
get to ramp up for the 2009/10 stint in Auburn, so if you are interested in helping out, please let
us
know!
Contact Jorge
Cacciatore [(256) 665-6329] for details.
From our
paddling coach...
Hi
everyone!
For
those of you who haven't met me, my name is Sarah
Yeldell and I'll be
the paddling coach.
Several of you have expressed interest in racing the concrete canoe,
and I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you.
If
you think you'd like to give racing a try, definitely come and
check it out. I'll warn you, our canoes are pretty unstable at
first, so bring a towel and a change of clothes, just in case!
(I promise, no one ever died from falling in the duckpond. No
one ever grew a third arm, either.) If you decide you like it
and want to be a part of the paddling team, we'll go ahead and set a
practice schedule that accommodates everyone.
Getting
ready to compete...
We've developed a workout routine for the chapter (if you are interested in working
out). We are considering
adopting this for our paddlers, but others can join in, too!
It’s called the Body for Life method and it’s proven to
work.

for Life Spreadsheet
Body
for Life Nutrition Sheet
We would like everyone
to submit their work schedules so that
we can decide when it is best
for everyone to meet. Contact Charlsie
Smith.
Paddling Practice:
We
are looking for people to help paddle the canoe during the '09/'10 stint
and will post new schedules to the right. Meet up with us at the times listed... either at
the pond or the trailer location in the Von Braun Research Center
parking lot.
Even if you have no experience, that's
fine! We
will teach you everything you need to know about paddling a canoe!!
Contact Sarah
Yeldell [(256) 651-6478].
Fund Raising:
We are working hard to
raise funds for the regional and national competitions. Please consider helping us out.
Contact: Chris Shaw [(256)
565-0958].
We really
appreciate the help of all
those people who helped so far. Remember, the more people that we
have this year, the easier things become and the more fun
it is for everyone concerned.
We will
be working in the West Wing of Tech Hall. The current work schedule
is posted to the left.
ASCE
Memberships:
UAH ASCE
accepts members from all engineering disciplines, not
just civil engineering. We collect local chapter dues but national student
memberships are free for all of our student chapter members. So if you are interested in joining the UAH ASCE Chapter,
contact one of the chapter officers.
http://www.asce.org/membership/howtojoin.cfm
Please
contact Dr. Gilbert at (256) 824-6029 and ask him to
sponsor you. List his affiliation and mailing
address as ASCE Student Chapter Faculty Advisor, CEE
Department, UAH, Huntsville, AL 35899. Don't forget
to ask for the school code when you call. You'll
need it when you sign up.
Important Developments:
Our "HOT LINKS" program is a tremendous success and ConcreteCanoe.org remains at the top of the search engines. We developed
this site in an effort to bring all
active concrete canoe sites, as well as pertinent
activities, commentaries, rule changes, and other
information provided by the CNCCC, ASCE, MBT, our
competitors, and us to the attention of the general
public. You'll see little UAH bias there and we are receiving help
from Wisconsin, Laval, Nevada-Reno, Clemson, etc.
