| We probably won't have a November social unless someone has a specific request, as due to the approaching holiday season we tend to have very poor turnout this month.

| === Technical Meeting / Social: Friday December 9th, 6:00 pm-midnight ===
| |
| In December we do something like board or card games, video games, etc because it's just too close to Thanksgiving and Christmas to fit in a social and a speaker.
| |
|
| |
| Tollefoto is hosting a gaming night at his house. Email him or Tina if you need address and/or directions. Start time is 6:00 pm. Note that this is NOT our usual second Thursday, we pushed it back one night so people don't have to deal with getting to work in the morning.
| |
|
| |
| We play whatever you bring. Please consider bringing board games to play, snacks and/or drinks. RSVP's of the types of stuff you're bringing would be appreciated so we don't have overstocks of some items (such as everyone bringing chips).
| |
|
| |
| Dinner - Tollefoto is still thinking on this, look for updates later.
