If there's enough snow, there will be a cardboard sled challenge on Saturday February 4th, as part of WinterFest.  This is being organized by Gamehaven Boy Scouts, we could spectate at Willow Creek Golf Course.  This year's flier is available at http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/CardboardSledChallengePoster2012.pdf .  (Last year's flier is available [http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/2011sledflyer2.pdf here]).  It looks like 9:45 am would be a good time to arrive, to see the sleds before they are raced/demolished.</strike>


The Cardboard Sled Challenge was cancelled due to lack of snow.  Star Wars Episode 1 is here in 3D, we will be doing dinner and a movie for our February social.  We're still working out the exact details, but dinner will be at 5:15 or 5:30 pm, and we'll be hitting the 7:00 or 7:15 pm movie showing.  As the movie is 2 hrs 11 mintues long, hopefully we'll get everyone home in time for a decent bedtime.  RSVP's to Tina would be appreciated, for getting a dinner table reserved.
