Title: Next FCUG meeting - Sunday, Nov. 15
Post by: RobertB on November 11, 2020, 10:56:26 PM
Happy almost Thanksgiving, C= and Ami aficionados!
     The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 12:30+ p.m., Sunday, November 15, at

     Panera Bread Restaurant
     3590 W Shaw Ave. (corner of W. Shaw Ave. and Marty Ave.)
     Fresno, CA 93711
     (559) 271-0104
     http://www.dickestel.com/meet_loc.htm

Note the shorter time duration of the meeting; this is due to the fact that the venue is limiting our time there due to the Covid crisis.
     This will be our first meeting since February!  We will be meeting in the covered patio, and we'll be seated socially-distant from each other.  Everybody should bring a mask.  I'll bring hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and paper towels for everybody's use.
     Because of the brief meeting, our agenda will be short -- take care of November and December business, watch some C64 nuvies and play one or two of the latest C64 games, like BoxyMoxy.  Originally, I was planning to bring the Amiga 600 so we could look at the classic Deluxe Music Construction Set, but it will have to wait until a future meeting.
     Speaking of future meetings, a December meeting is not assured, due to weather conditions.  For the November meeting, it should be sunny with temps at about 60 at our meeting time.

          Truly,

Hope a similar accomodation will be possible for the SCCAN meetings - that or some zoom meetings

AFAIK, the outdoor patio of our SCCAN venue, the Panera Bread in Northridge, has no electrical outlets nor shade (so if we have power, the monitor screens will be overwhelmed with sunlight).

We will be meeting in the covered patio, and we'll be seated socially-distant from each other.
Well, we had to meet indoors, because the electrical outlet to the patio had been sealed shut; the homeless were walking into the patio at night to use that outlet.  The restaurant had been capped at 25% capacity indoors, but indoor dining will not continue after Tuesday, because the county is moving back into the very restrictive purple tier.
