January 15th Program Meeting The Board and Jeno Horvath, the program chair, have decided to encourage members to present programs intermittently throughout the year. The goals for this series will be to share the vast expertise of the club s members as well as for all members to get to know each other better. Several members have agreed to present in the future but the first member will be Al Mosher. Al discussed several possible topics for the presentation but at this writing I m not certain which topic was selected. More program details will be shared prior to the presentation via google groups. Plan to come out for the first in this new and interesting program series.
