| » "For the first time
in a long time I am truly happy and I have great friends all around me!
I have the club to thank for that.....my first few months here in C'ville
I
thought maybe I had made a mistake moving here. Then I started a
fantastic job, joined an amazing outdoor club, and have made relationships
with people that I think will last a lifetime. If there were an
award for changing people's lives for the better, you would be the number
one candidate. I thank you and my family thanks you!"
» "The OASC is a great fit for my outdoorsy lifestyle. I’m not very
motivated by the gym, so it’s much more interesting to choose different
activities each month so I can get outside and explore. Plus, the leaders
are very qualified (ie, trained in first aid and CPR), and the club
members are friendly and fun!"
» "The club is really working some magic helping folks with similar
interests become friends. I am personally incredibly grateful.
I haven't met anyone I haven't thought was extremely interesting and nice.
The club rocks."
» "I have yet to join an adventure that I didn't thoroughly enjoy."
~Member in her 50s, after being in the club for over a year.
» "I had a fantastic time [rafting the Lower New River] this past
weekend. You did a wonderful job of organizing the trip and everyone I
talked with loved it. Thank you so much. I am counting the days
until the Upper Gauley trip. I've been there twice before and loved
every minute of it. I have two daughters who were rafting guides on the
South Fork of the American River in northern California and they are
always very envious when I get to run the Upper Gauley."
» "Since I joined the
club, there has been so much laughter in my life!"
» "I am SO glad that I joined this group -- I had SUCH a blast with
Putt-Putt and dinner, and meeting new people was great for me."
» "I think that the
club is really fun and I'm meeting a lot of great people."
» "My first outing
with OASC was so great that I'm 100% sold! I'd like to upgrade my
membership from 6 months to 12."
» "There is one word
that describes the rafting trip with OASC ... Aaaaaaawesome! This
was my first time on class 4 & 5 rapids and it was a wild and exciting
ride and I can't wait for the next trip and get some serious air.
All of the club members were a blast to hangout. I made some good
friends and had some laughs that brought tears to my eyes. =) "
» "My social life has
taken a 180 turn since I joined the club."
» The "hike yesterday
was awesome ... great group of people ... great views, not a single person
on the trail and some stream crossings to help you cool off. Dairy
Queen in Stanardsville for post-hike nourishment."
» "Pictionary turned
into a total blast. Lots o fun ... folks are really enjoying the
club. It's great!"
» The bike ride "had a
little bit of everything: road, gravel, city and rural. I
loved it. It was challenging, so I felt really proud when I was
done! ... I look forward to the next 'adventure' with you! You're a
great trip leader!" (to Andy)
» "I had a great time
tonight [mini-golfing]. It was a blast. I didn't really want
to go because I was exhausted from work and just wanted an early night --
but I'm so glad that I went."
» "The climbing Sunday
was awesome. Aarash [Leader] is an incredible climber. I
learned so much!!! He was really funny."
» "This was the first
good camping experience I've ever had. The food and company were
great, and the facilities were very clean. Not to mention we have
some master s'mores makers amongst us!"
» "I had such a great
time! I especially liked the night-frisbee" (with a lighted
frisbee).
» "Aside from the
breathtaking views and rafting between the tree-laden cliff walls, the
rafting guide was so interesting -- telling us quirky historical stories
about the region."
» "Thanks so much
again for organizing and running such a great weekend! I'm still
smiling."
» "Hey Matt! I
wanted to thank you for this past weekend. If it wasn't for you we
wouldn't have had this incredible experience."
» "Thanks so much -- I
think you're doing a great job with this!" (to Matt)
» "Thanks for
expanding our horizons." |
