While we adore Linda and her lovely house (and her lovely dog Butch), we’re in need of a more neutral meeting space option. We’re looking for a space that:

• will let us meet monthly and has guaranteed room for 10-15 people each time
• won’t charge us an arm and a leg (my guess is most folks would be OK with buying an appetizer or drink)
• has air conditioning for summer months
• has parking, or street parking nearby
• is wheelchair accessible
• and is welcoming and comfortable.

Libraries are out (we’d have to open the meetings to the public); coffee houses are OK if they can guarantee the space (which Starbucks won’t). Restaurants will be tough, as they’ll charge us for dinner…but maybe folks would OK with that.

I would like to hear your ideas and opinions, but a little more than that: I would LOVE if folks would make a phone call or two. It’s a lot of research for one person to handle, so if you’ve got an idea, do a little homework and then fill me in.

Thanks!
