=== Technical Meeting:  Thursday June 13th ===
We do not have a speaker for the June technical meeting, so we will make our first attempt at disc golf for the year!  The weather report looks good, so keep your fingers crossed!  We will use the RCTC course.  Gather in front of the RCTC field house (see the campus layout link below if you're not familiar with that location).  Don't worry if you're not familiar with disc golf, we have all skill ranges and some discs to loan out if you don't have your own.


6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's H1411. Note: For those of you that have been coming for a long time, we are still in the same place, the rooms in the Heintz Center were renumbered. Prior to March 20th this room had been known as HA108. If anyone finds updated maps, please let us know.
