It’s a leap year! So we’re doing something extra for this meeting to celebrate the extra day of the year! Everyone is invited to bring their handheld video games to play. Share your knowledge about the latest games, show off your fun video game device, and play video games with friends.
Don’t have a handheld player? There may be an extra one or two that members are willing to share. Plus we’ll have the usual board and card games.
And since it’s a pizza night, please bring a pizza to share. ASAP will provide the plates, napkins, a few liters of soda and cups.

Sunday, Jan. 29 — ASAP hike in Thousand Oaks at 1:30PM.
Andre Long, an experienced hiker and father of Christian, a young man with ASD. The weather is supposed to be good with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70s.
Here are the the directions to the hiking location:
From Oxnard Plain, take Hueneme Rd., south. At intersection where Hueneme becomes Lewis, turn right on West Potrero Rd. Pass CSUCI. After climbing a steep and winding grade and reaching a housing development on left, look on your right for park entrance. If you reach Reino Rd. you have gone too far.
