We submit for your participation a two part social on Saturday October 22nd. Flying pumpkins!  We didn't get our act together to fling some pumpkins of our own, but we can watch [http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/2011PumpkinChuckinFlyer.pdf Scouts toss them].  Park back from the launch area, to avoid collateral damage.  Dress warm, we've been warned it's exposed and windy terrain.  Spectators are welcome at any time during the event.  However, if you wish to hang out with your fellow K-LUGgers, here's our planned schedule

-At '''2:30 pm''', those who need to move for exercise, ADHD, or to stay warm are welcome to go for a hike with us.  The hike will take the trail west out of the parking lot to the city/county property of the Gamehaven Reservoir Park.  For those who need a goal to purpose their hike, there are several geocaches in the area.  Snacks, water, and layered clothing would be appropriate.


Meet at the Gamehaven Scout Camp parking lot, '''1:30 or 2:30 pm''', Saturday October 22nd.  5015 Simpson Rd SE, that's next to "Stars - Fleur de lis" if you're looking at the geocaching map, http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/?ll=43.951476,-92.432907&z=15&mt=hybrid .

=== Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2011. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim 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
