All,

Regarding the Business Meeting and the need for long range planning.

Public Service Announcement!
At the start of each month and before a business meeting, it is a good idea to check your calendar(s)!
Sink all your calendars well in advance or you may have to miss an important event.
I have 3 Google calendars, a wall calendar, and a checkbook calendar.

As part of planning the Glenside Picnic you may want a list of Saturdays in August and September.

Using Linux (Extra Credit if you do it in OS9/6809) find out how many Saturdays are in the rest of the year.

If you are reading this on your smartphone, then the word wrap is going to mess this all up…
PI:~ $ ncal 2023 | grep -E '(202|Jan|May|Sep|Sa)'
So, I will not show you the output.
