Tina's idea is to piggyback on Winterfest. 
 
http://www.rochestermn.gov/departments/park/activities/winter/WinterFest/WinterFest_Calendar.asp
 
I'll try to pick something cheap or free for the official social, but I'll also cite one activity that may be of interest for group members that has a higher entry fee if anyone wants an unofficial social (sorry, I won't be making that one, although my husband may be interested enough to pony up the door fee).
 
The options:<br>
1)  The History Center sleigh rides and bonfire (2/1-2/2), free will donation.  <br>
2)  There's the family day snow globes thing at the Art Center 2/2, which even for those not wanting to do the free activity, the Art Center's running free admission that day.<br>
3)  Also on 2/2 is a price TBD ground hog day celebration at Quarry Hill, hoping for more details on that.
 
 
Unofficial:  Thursday February 7th, Bacon Fest!  $20.  http://baconfestrochester.wordpress.com/ <br>
Event runs 5-9 pm, I'll set a K-LUG meeting time of 6 pm.  <br>
Canadian Honker Event Center at the Ramada Hotel, 1517 16th St SW<br>
At the door:  CASH ONLY<br>
Alternate method of payment: Tickets can also be purchased online by making a $25 donation to the Sunset Terrace Playground project. The deadline is Wednesday, February 6th at midnight. Tickets purchased online can be picked up at the event.

As regularly scheduled, this would fall on Valentine's Day.  So as to not get anyone in trouble with their significant other, or to cause decreased attendance for our speaker, I plan to reschedule this one.


And, our delayed K-LUG officer elections (president, vice president, treasurer) and PCIG nominations.

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2013. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics.

What type of topics are good, what type are bad?  Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
