| We had an impromptu social when three K-LUG families turned up at the WinterFest horse drawn sleigh rides at the History Center :)

|
| Our February social will be a movie outing, coordinated by Will, during the last two weeks of the month. Movie, day, date, and time are all pending while Will tries to figure out who is interested and also while we wait for theater showing schedules to be released. Watch the email list for options.
| | Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let us know. |

|
| Speaking of the email list, it was brought up at the February meeting that not everyone is aware of the "Activities mailing list". This can be found in the leftnav bar. It's a separate opt-in email list from the regular technical list, and is utilized for letting more social K-LUGgers coordinate additional events (disc golf, movies, game nights, hiking, bar outings, etc) without pestering the larger list. It's currently a low-traffic list, and all are welcome to join.

| WinterFest has been a historic event to piggyback on. Despite it starting January 29th, the official/detailed schedule of events isn’t yet released (that’s coming soon, supposedly, due to website issues). Some potential options:
| | Back to our usual Cascade Lake Park. |
|
| |
|
| --
| | Bags provided. You bring your own gloves, grabbers, and sense of civic duty. There is shoreline. |
| | |
| Friday January 30th, 6-9 pm, $10/person candlelight ski, bonfire, cocoa, smores. Limited equipment rental, extra.
| |
| | |
| Murder Mystery – theirs is $35/person, would we want to do our own?
| |
| | |
| Sunday February 8th, Cardboard sled race at Rochester Golf Club. Last year it was $15/sled, but there was no mention of a spectator fee.
| |
| | |
| SocialICE – downtown ice bar. Thursday February 19th through Sunday February 21st.
| |
| | |
| --
| |
| | |
| Other ideas?
| |
| | |
| Tina will be hosting her annual Chinese New Year celebration, anyone on the Activities email list is welcome to join in (invitation will be coming out in probably late January). If you’re not on that email list yet, either join or come talk to Tina if you’re interested in attending.</strike>

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? 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
