11:30 am, at the Apache Mall food court near B&N.  


This park has a nice playground for the littles, picnic tables, and room to fly kites, as well as usually being unpopulated.  The lack of trees and being on top of a hill mean it's pretty bug free (not that we should hopefully have to worry about that in April) even when there's not enough breeze to fly the kites.


=== Social: Saturday October 22nd ===
Please bring your family and friends who might want to hang out. Bring your own kites.  If you don't want to sit at the picnic tables or on the playground equipment, bring your own folding chair.  And bring your own beverage.  Since it's April, we're skipping the traditional ice cream.


'''Updated Thursday October 20th, see new times'''


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
