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

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.
