Technical Meeting: Thursday October 11th
Mike Fallenstein has arranged with BestBuy for a BestBuy rep (Colin) to come talk to us. He will talk and demo about tablets. For those of you wondering what happened to the other mobile items (phone), that's been pushed back to November because they believe they have a full 1.5 hours of presentation easily on each topic.
6 pm, RCTC Heintz Center's HA107.
Social: Saturday October 13th
Photowalk at Oxbow/Zollman Zoo, led by Jon T. Followed by lunch aftewards for those interested. The full details are here, but here are some key details:
-10 am - bear feeding at the zoo
-11 am - a hawk or owl will be brought out of the cages for closer seeing/photographing without bars.
-A walk on some of the park trails will follow. People may go out to lunch together afterwards (Mantorville's Hubbell House?).
This is not a dog-friendly event, as they are not welcome at the zoo nor on the trails.
Lunch: Thursday October 18th

Social: Saturday October 27th
Pumpking Tossing at Gamehaven Scout Camp. Based on last year's experience, I suggest a 10 am start time (full schedule is in one of the links below). If we don't get the timing right, we'll take a walk before/after along the nice trail there (some geocaches there, if you don't already have them).
Details are here:

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2012. 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
