| If it's easy for you, throw in a folding chair. We'll provide the leftover pop from the December party, and some treats as usual. They've said if you have a project to work on, you should bring it with you.

| |
|
| |
| I'll try to pick something cheap or free for the official social, but I'll also cite one activity that may be of interest for group members that has a higher entry fee if anyone wants an unofficial social (sorry, I won't be making that one, although my husband may be interested enough to pony up the door fee).
| |
|
| |
| The options:<br>
| |
| 1) The History Center sleigh rides and bonfire (2/1-2/2), free will donation. <br>
| |
| 2) There's the family day snow globes thing at the Art Center 2/2, which even for those not wanting to do the free activity, the Art Center's running free admission that day.<br>
| |
| 3) Also on 2/2 is a price TBD ground hog day celebration at Quarry Hill, hoping for more details on that.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2013. 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
