=== Social:  August TBD ===
Ideas can be found [http://www.k-lug.org/SocialMeeting here] or invent your own.  What would you like to do?  Tell Tina.  Suggestions submitted for August so far include:


-Canoeing/tubing down the Zumbro River from Zumbro Falls to Hammond, ~2-2.5 hours on the water.  $20 per canoe, not sure on the cost for tubing, includes the cost of shuttle.  If you bring your own boat, they'll apparently shuttle you for $5.  They don't take credit cards but they do take checks.  Saturday, Sunday, or a weekday afternoon (last launch ~3 pm?).


-Roadside clean-up, we could tag along with the Ski Patrol's cleanup if we wanted.  This could be a weekend or weekday event.
