LUG News
We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, RCTC), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.
Virtual Social during our Technical Meeting timeslot: Thursday September 10th
6 pm
There is no moderator when using this software, so if we get invaded we will have to bail and figure out a different session ID and then also definitely use a password, that'd go out by email and/or wiki update ASAP.
Hope to see you there.
Virtual Technical Meeting: Thursday October 8th
Presenter needed. Willing to volunteer? Tell Tina.
Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let Tina know.
Virtual Social: October 2020
What might you want to do? Tell Tina.
Social: Tuesday October 6th
Hoping by now we'll be far enough out we can do things outside together.
Litter Bit Better!
Our annual clean up a corner of the world event, helping de-litter a local park as a part of Litter Bit Better. As usual we're teaming up with the geocachers who get CITO credit.
Parking is here or here, in the SE or SW corners of the park. The official group gathering location is on the SE corner of the park.
6 pm start time.
Bags and trash are provided, you need to provide your own gloves and a sense of civic duty. If anyone has some waterproof boots and/or grabbers for cleaning the marshy stream edge, that'd be great too.
Pending potential presentations

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2019. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
