| |
| We're bringing back Dennis DeLorme, and hoping that he doesn't trigger another whiteout ;)

| Dennis DeLorme on "UV Index Measurement in the Pacific".
| | === Outside Social: Friday July 24th === |

|
| -- | | Disc golf! Meet outside the RCTC field house, 6 pm. Here is [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217033483939111930234.0004a3795f42da701ae0b&msa=0&ll=44.015742,-92.422206&spn=0.003541,0.006942&iwloc=0004a37962daae4746296 a map]. |

|
| We took a UV sensor with us on a recent cruise and did UV measurements under different conditions.
| | (I was going to have us go to the Byron disc golf course for something different, but they've apparently got wild parsnip on half the course) |
|
| |
|
| The talk will cover what the UV Index is and conditions that affect it. The next topic is how to measure it using a low cost sensor and available technology from my basement. (Your basement may vary, but there is nothing too esoteric.) I'll talk about the hardware and software needed. At the end I'll cover some things to consider for future expeditions.

| WinterFest has been a historic event to piggyback on. Despite it starting January 29th, the official/detailed schedule of events isn’t yet released (that’s coming soon, supposedly, due to website issues). Some potential options:
| |
| | |
| --
| |
| | |
| Friday January 30th, 6-9 pm, $10/person candlelight ski, bonfire, cocoa, smores. Limited equipment rental, extra.
| |
| | |
| Murder Mystery – theirs is $35/person, would we want to do our own?
| |
| | |
| Sunday February 8th, Cardboard sled race at Rochester Golf Club. Last year it was $15/sled, but there was no mention of a spectator fee.
| |
| | |
| SocialICE – downtown ice bar. Thursday February 19th through Sunday February 21st.
| |
| | |
| --
| |
| | |
| Other ideas?
| |
| | |
| Tina will be hosting her annual Chinese New Year celebration, anyone on the Activities email list is welcome to join in (invitation will be coming out in probably late January). If you’re not on that email list yet, either join or come talk to Tina if you’re interested in attending.
