An hour meeting w/ agenda would be a useful prelude to the social
activities.  It'd give a shot at a "go around the room...who the heck
are ya?" round of self-introductions that will make everyone a bit

Round-table discussion is a natural form of ice breaking for a group
of USEnuts.  Imagine, expressing opinions without having to hit the
