| === Planned Technical Meeting: TBD, December ===
| |
| Our traditional December meeting is gaming somewhere. Some ideas have been gathered (will be typed up and posted soon). Feel free to suggest other ideas.
| |
| | |
| === Planned Social: Monday December 18th ===
| |
| Long version: Being a couch or computer potato and eating all of that good food is just too tempting this time of year. Join us for an evening away from both of those. Meet with other geeks to walk for ~1 hour and 20 minutes, and plan for time afterwards to socialize over a cup of something warm. 6:30 pm, Panera South (just inside the doors to the right). Please don't be late, it'd be hard to catch up with us. Dress warm, we're walking outside for the whole time, no matter what the weather. This is a regularly occuring event on Monday evenings, so if you can't make this one feel free to join us for others.
| |
| | |
| Short version: 6:30 pm, Panera South, dress warm we're walking outside, don't plan to be done until at least 8 pm.
