| -if weather appropriate, we will disc golf at Stewartville's Bear Cave Park, 6 pm (usual K-LUG meeting time). Play until we run out of dry holes (parts of the park tend to be mucky in spring), until we run out of daylight (note), or until the kiddos wear out. Then those interested can go out to dinner at the Pizza Ranch.

| === Planned Social: February 2015 TBD ===
| |
| We had an impromptu social when three K-LUG families turned up at the WinterFest horse drawn sleigh rides at the History Center :)
| |
|
| |
| <strike>Our February social will be a movie outing, coordinated by Will, during the last two weeks of the month. Movie, day, date, and time are all pending while Will tries to figure out who is interested and also while we wait for theater showing schedules to be released. Watch the email list for options.</strike> Did not happen due to anticipated movies of choice getting really bad reviews.
| |
|
| |
| Speaking of the email list, it was brought up at the February meeting that not everyone is aware of the "Activities mailing list". This can be found in the leftnav bar. It's a separate opt-in email list from the regular technical list, and is utilized for letting more social K-LUGgers coordinate additional events (disc golf, movies, game nights, hiking, bar outings, etc) without pestering the larger list. It's currently a low-traffic list, and all are welcome to join.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| <strike>Ideas can be found [http://www.k-lug.org/SocialMeeting here] or invent your own. What would you like to do? Tell Tina or Jon G.
| |
|
| |
| WinterFest has been a historic event to piggyback on. Despite it starting January 29th, the official/detailed schedule of events isn’t yet released (that’s coming soon, supposedly, due to website issues). Some potential options:
| |
|
| |
| --
| |
|
| |
| Friday January 30th, 6-9 pm, $10/person candlelight ski, bonfire, cocoa, smores. Limited equipment rental, extra.
| |
|
| |
| Murder Mystery – theirs is $35/person, would we want to do our own?
| |
|
| |
| Sunday February 8th, Cardboard sled race at Rochester Golf Club. Last year it was $15/sled, but there was no mention of a spectator fee.
| |
|
| |
| SocialICE – downtown ice bar. Thursday February 19th through Sunday February 21st.
| |
|
| |
| --
| |
|
| |
| Other ideas?
| |
|
| |
| Tina will be hosting her annual Chinese New Year celebration, anyone on the Activities email list is welcome to join in (invitation will be coming out in probably late January). If you’re not on that email list yet, either join or come talk to Tina if you’re interested in attending.</strike>

| Dennis DeLorme on "UV Index Measurement in the Pacific".
| |
|
| |
| --
| |
|
| |
| We took a UV sensor with us on a recent cruise and did UV measurements under different conditions.
| |
|
| |
| The talk will cover what the UV Index is and conditions that affect it. The next topic is how to measure it using a low cost sensor and available technology from my basement. (Your basement may vary, but there is nothing too esoteric.) I'll talk about the hardware and software needed. At the end I'll cover some things to consider for future expeditions.
| |
|

|
| |
|
| |
| Also, annual K-LUG elections, PCIG nominations, socials brainstorming, and a discussion of PCIG's future.
