1) General Interest

Fast Update...

We are going to embark upon renovating the TBCS website this Tuesday night from 7-9 at the Resource Center.  I have invited all of the club's website gurus to this meeting.  However, the last time we did this would have been an excellent opportunity for website and blogging novices to attend as well.  Please feel free to join us no matter what your level of expertise (and we will be broadcasting also).  You should both enjoy and learn from the lively discussion that we will have.  We will go to nearby Capogna's Dugout for adult libation afterwards.

Broadcasting our SIGs etc.

I mentioned that we are broadcasting in the above item.  Many of our SIGs are now broadcast and saved for later download.  I get numerous questions about HOW to view these.  You don't have to do anything to view a live broadcast except go to the links that I provide:

TBCS: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tbcs-live

Doc's Place: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/doc%27s-place-live

While we are broadcasting live, you will immediately see the live feed and you can post messages in the Chat Room if you desire.  If we are not online, you can scroll down and see the programs that we have saved.  Just click them to view them.

Open House & RAK on Saturday, February 14th

We could use a few volunteers to help out for a 3-hour shift on that day.  Please write a letter to the Club Secretary if you would like to step forward.
