=== Extra social:  Wednesday June 10th ===
We don't have a speaker, so we'll go play outside instead. Note we're one day early, to take advantage of the $2/person discount. Assuming there isn't some tricky math, that's $4/round/person.  This is a cash-only facility. 6 pm - minigolf at Skyline Raceway.
