Swap meet!!  This will be at our normal 6 pm time, although since we may not be able to get into the room much before 6 actual swapping may start a little bit late.  Also hopefully in attendance will be members of PCIG, ham radio club, students from RCTC, and the general public.  But in order to do this, we NEED YOUR HELP!  How?

We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, virtual), and monthly for socializing (varies).  We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please [http://k-lug.org/About contact an officer].


-Bring your computer stuff that needs to go to the recycling ($0.35/pound).


-Bring a bathroom scale that's accurate at low weight ranges, so we can figure out the appropriate recycling fee to charge.


-Bring your truck and be willing to take a load to the recycling during the recycling center's open hours (Mondays-Saturdays, 8-5).


-Coordinate the pizza fundraiser, buy pizza and pop plus bring paper plates and disposable cups in quantities sufficient for those who show up.  Will be reimbursed out of the profits from the fundraiser (charge is a donation).
