Another May Social
Outside? We hope! What would you like to do? Tell Tina.
Lunch: Thursday May 15th
11:30 am, Apache Mall food court, near B&N.
Planned Technical Meeting: Tuesday June 10th
No speaker yet, volunteers requested. May also include an intro to reddit.com in general and the KLUG reddits in particular.
Lunch: Thursday June 19th
11:30 am
Social sometime in June, July, or August
Day trip to the Cities for the Science Museum's Star Wars exhibit. Available June 13-August 24. Tickets are anticipated to need to be purchased in advance due to high demand, so we'd not only need to agree on a day, we'll have to try to get a weekend far enough in advance that we can all get entry tickets for approximately the same time. If we get 15 or more people to commit and turn over money in advance, we can make group reservations - at least one month notice would be required for this as well.
While we're in the Cities for a day, we could also plan to hit up things like GameWorks (large video game arcade / bowling/ restaurant), the IMAX at the zoo, and/or woods paintball at Pro Paintball. Other ideas to make a full day of it are welcome.
New Gaming Center Coming to Rochester?

Want a K-Lug Shirt?
Our first batch of shirts came out rather nice, especially for the price. We have folk who didn't get in on the first order. Please browse the deals here, and contact Tim if interested. (We need a minimum order of 4)
We can now order screen printed tees from this company as well
