[All-postdocs] PDA Activity Survey - Who wants to go climbing?

[Simon Pendleton]

Hi fellow post-docs! 

We are starting up some “activities events” through the PDA to try to connect people who like to do things such as run, bike, ski, hike, climb, etc. In general, we will plan to do something on a weekday once a month and on the weekend once per quarter. We are open to ANY and ALL suggestions for activities -- and the success of this effort depends on people indicating what they are interested in doing. We will come up with ideas (through your feedback) and plan logistics of finding a date, organizing carpools, doing initial planning, and getting group discounts (if applicable). The PDA will not be providing funds, but we are hoping to foster a greater sense of community and increase access to outdoor activities by helping coordinate and plan events. 

That being said, we are planning our first event as a trip to the closest rock climbing gym to WHOI in New Bedford <http://carabiners.com/>. It is ~1 hr away and is open until 10 pm. Please fill out this poll <https://doodle.com/poll/4pkkqf4b37fqwsg2> if you are interested in joining with dates and if you are able to carpool. The poll will close on Friday Nov. 8 at 5pm and we will follow up with the date that works best. 

We are really excited to start this with all of you and ask that you provide feedback along the way to make the most of it! 

Best,
Simon and Eily on behalf of your PDA
