=== Planned Social:  October TBD ===
$10
A photography walk would also be fun and would need to be done when most of you are still willing to play outside, ie in October.  Bring your camera, and we'll all try
our hand at taking pictures.  We need someone to pick a starting
location, route, and to lead the event (this means you get to pick the
time and date!).  Also, this would lead well into another photo
manipulation presentation, we had one on GIMP and one on PaintShopPro a
couple years ago, if anyone is willing to give such a presentation at a near-future meeting.


Update: Chris Abbey has expressed interest in leading this activity and in doing a presentation sometime in 2010. The tentative weekend for the two photowalks (one nature, one architectural) is October 24/25, stay tuned for more updates.

-Coordinate the pizza fundraiser, buy pizza and pop plus bring paper plates and disposable cups in quantities sufficient for those who show up. Will be reimbursed out of the profits from the fundraiser (charge is a donation).  Pizza supply list, from 2008 results: pizza (4), pop (4 2L), paper plates, napkins, plastic cups, ice. We had ~1/2 a pizza and ~2L worth of pop left over in 2008, but we broke even on the donations, so we were good. The "fancier" pizza flavors were the faster movers, such as supreme went much faster than cheese. And root beer and Mt Dew went much faster than Sprite. Set up a sign indicating that the pizza and pop are in this part of the room, that's it's for donation. Also label a cup as the donation collection container.  _____________

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2009. 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?
