=== Logo Contest:  Deciding on a printer and products ===
[[LogoPage]] The winning logo is Anon #1's green state shaped logo.  We need you to look into finding printing locations, prices, and products available to print on.  So far we have information on the following:


-local print shop such as Superior Screeners. Probably would require bulk order.  More details needed, someone please do some research.


-Printfection, bulk discount information available [http://www.printfection.com/customer/custom.php?tab=3 here].  This was the source of the blue K-LUG shirt Tim brought to the Second Life March meeting. 
=== Virtual Social: Thursday May 14th ===
6 pm


-www.cafepress.com. Probably slightly more expensive, but would not require a bulk order.  We've been warned they won't look great.  For items that can be printed on, see [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/ Cafe Press]. Tim has already done some research, see the following pages:  [http://www.cafepress.com/k_lug 1] , [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/help_bulkpricing.aspx 2].

Park and walk a park in NE Rochester, where new trails went in last year.

Park east of Churchill Elementary School on Northern Heights Drive NE, looks like it might just be a curbside instead of a lot. We'll walk from there through the two stages of GCANZKD in Northern Heights Park, and decide on the fly if we're taking a path out of the NE side of the park to also grab GC9W5MG.


Outside Social: June TBD

Disc golf! Meet outside the RCTC field house, 6 pm. Here is a map.



Upcoming Outdoor Socials TBD

We're planning pickleball, and a geocaching hike on a new trail at Northern Heights Park (start on the WSW side and walk clockwise).
