|
| === Technical Meeting / Social: Friday December 12th, 6:00 pm ===
| |
| In December we do something like board or card games, video games, etc because it's just too close to Thanksgiving and Christmas to fit in a social and a speaker.
| |
|
| |
|
| Tina is hosting a gaming night at her house. Email her if you need address and/or directions. Start time is 6:00 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | === Outside Social: Thursday September 17th === |
|
| |
|
| Dinner of pizza from Pizza Hut will be ordered promptly at 6:30, don't be late. Please bring cash to chip in for your portion of the pizza if you choose to partake.
| | Disc golf! This time we're going to Byron. The [https://udisc.com/courses/byron-links-dgc-421X course] is just south of the Byron west stoplight. We waited until fall to let the wild parsnip flower heads (reported location of the 2nd half of the course) quit shedding pollen everywhere; but you still don't want to touch the plant. If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to [https://udisc.com/courses/klingvall-park-kXgO Kingvall Park], and try their disc golf course instead. |

Outside Social: Thursday September 17th
Disc golf! This time we're going to Byron. The course is just south of the Byron west stoplight. We waited until fall to let the wild parsnip flower heads (reported location of the 2nd half of the course) quit shedding pollen everywhere; but you still don't want to touch the plant. If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to Kingvall Park, and try their disc golf course instead.
