Next Club Meeting Tuesday March 22

SCAT Club Members: Just a reminder about our 2nd meeting this month on Tuesday at 10:30 in the clubhouse Conference Room. The topics for this session will focus on "TV and the Internet" and "New Computer Specifications." If you missed the earlier meeting this month, on the 8th, you'll still have the opportunity to see our beautiful "new" meeting room, now with wireless Internet access. Following Mark's presentation of this session's topics, he'll be free to answer your questions and to tell you what's in store for next month.

We hope to see you there!
