LUG News
Lunch: Thursday April 16th, 2015
11:30 am, Apache Mall food court, near B&N.
Social: Wednesday April 22, 2015
Our April social will be the Litter Bit Better park clean up.
That's 6 pm on Earth Day (April 22nd), at Cascade Lake Park.
Parking is approximately here (or slightly further west, closer to the corner/park). Geocachers get CITO credit.
Bags and trash are provided, you need to provide your own gloves and a sense of civic duty. We also have some kids that need wrangling, if anyone wants to help chaperone them to free up their parents for dirtier duties (this position isn't vital, as a nursing mom I usually can't wander too far away from kiddos anyway, but more assistance is always good). If anyone has some waterproof boots for cleaning the marshy stream edge, that'd be great too.
Planned Extra Lunch: Thursday May 14th, 2015
11:30 am, 1st Avenue food court downtown, at the bigger tables near the entrance.

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
