At the November 12, 2015 meeting, Carol Hicks and Marsha Randles had prepared a handout with references for their presentation "All Things 60 Degrees and Hexagons". In the event you were unable to attend (or have misplaced that handout), it can be found here. Since scanning the document erased all links, and since many no longer seem to be directing to the proper site, I will provide corrected links  below for your convenience (please note I cannot edit PDFs provided by others so I cannot correct the handout):
