       There will NOT be a ZOOM this WEEK. 

TNGFEST ??   What do you think about a TNG table fest?  Maybe once a month? Maybe 5% sales fee to support TNG stuff?  Other ideas….

What to do next?  What talks or training sessions are you wanting us to do?

Finishing Up - We will continue catching up with old friends and making some new ones 

Even though mask are not required feel free to wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.  There will be some wearing mask so you will not be the only one.

The pop cooler will only have water in it. So if you want anything else – bring it.
