another announcement related to the adopt a crag: we will be voting on the new bylaws of the GCC after the potluck lunch. Then it's climbing for all until later when we have a meeting and update on projects and slide show at 7 pm. Look forward to seeing all the volunteers there, thanks in advance.
Shouldn't the bylaws vote take place at the meeting, rather than at the work event? (Which do you expect will draw more GCC members? Can you collect votes (non-anonymous) at both?)
Are the proposed bylaws up on the GCC website for all to examine?

Hi Mike, I agree. The vote will take place at the GCC meeting at 6pm at the visitor's center, before the Eric Horst slide show, and not at the adopt-a-crag event.
The by-laws are up on the website, but from what I can see on the list I have, you haven't renewed your membership since 2003. Only current paid members for this past year can vote.

What restrictions, if any, will this impose on climbers who are planning to just climb at Peter's Kill on Friday? Please advise so plans can be made accordingly.

True dat Mike- As for Saturday, I can attest from being at the last 3 years of clean-ups, there is little impact. Perhaps 20 people usually show up, do a service project, in one of several areas (we try to work around climbers), have lunch, pass out goodies, and climb most of the afternoon....now as for setting up ropes in the pm, well..... -M
Thanks for realizing my typo, Marty, and answering it with a sensible response. Mike- why don't you go back to demonstrating what a bunsen burner does.
The Peters Kill will be open and accessable during this years Adopt-a-Crag. This years projects including beautification of the entrance to the climbing area (a follow-up to last years success) and collection of micro-trash followed by a weigh-in of the microjunk.
