=== "Technical Meeting": Friday December 10th ===
=== Outside Social: Friday December 12th ===
Due to lack of input as well as former hosting sites such as p0wned having gone out of business, Tina is hosting a gaming night at her house.  Email her if you need address and/or directions.  Start time is still in flux, probably 6 or 7 pm.  Note that this is NOT our usual second Thursday, we pushed it back one night so people don't have to deal with getting to work in the morning.
Time to be determined, probably ~6 pm


We play whatever you bring. Please consider bringing a folding table and chairs, board games, card games, video games, video game system accessories, and/or snacks and beverages.  RSVP's of the types of stuff you're bringing would be appreciated so we don't have overstocks of some items such as four people hauling their folding table and chairs, or everyone bringing chips.
[https://www.olmstedcounty.gov/residents/parks-recreation/park-programs Zoo Dazzle (lights only)] at Oxbow Park.  Going to the lights only session allows us to not have to fight traffic backed up to the main road, we only have to give up the treats and activities like visiting with Santa, we still get the lights and the animals.

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2011. 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)?
