| If you want to play at the Rabbit Hole on Friday night October 25th too, you can take a pumpkin <strike>(one you bought at Northwoods Orchard?)</strike> for soldering pumpkin lights and pumpkin carving night. Bring your own pumpkin and knife. Need to learn to solder? This will be a good night for that, bring your own kit or talk to the Toymakers in advance about other potential options (candle flicker simulator). I'm assuming this one is 6 pm. They typically order cheap pizza and pop, bring your $5 to pitch in if you want to partake.

| Historically we've held a swap, but there hasn't been a lot of interest in that for the past several years. Now if you've got "stuff" to clear out of your house, you can do things like donate it to the October junk bots creation (see above). We'll probably have a technical meeting instead, we're waiting on hearing from 1 of 4 potential speakers.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2013. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim 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
