=== Technical Meeting:  Thursday June 13th ===
We do not have a speaker for the June technical meeting, so we will make our first attempt at disc golf for the year!  The weather report looks good, so keep your fingers crossed!  We will use the RCTC course.  Gather in front of the RCTC Regional Sports Center (aka the Field House, see the campus layout link below if you're not familiar with that location).  Don't worry if you're not familiar with disc golf, we have all skill ranges and some discs to loan out if you don't have your own.


6 pm, in front of the RCTC Regional Sports Center.

=== 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
