Announcements:
Thank you cards: Jim and Dixie, Charlie Jefko and Mandy Potter from Wednesday Night Live.
Paul: where will our next meeting take place? Recommends a couple places in October. Looking into different locations. Buck and honey’s would cater food boxes. Our options include the following:
The Viking may work well. Upstairs, has TV screen hook up. Cons: Smaller kitchen and not accessible to people with accessibility challenges.
Spring Garden has a back room available, no TV but there is a screen. We have a projector in the podium.
Grumpy Troll; waiting to hear back.
Norsk: public space would be difficult to have a captive audience.
Peggy: front room at Culver’s. Worth a phone call to find out. May be difficult for presentations with windows.
Aztlan: small seating area. Icki Sticki has a limited menu.
A suggestion that for the next two weeks the club meets at The Viking, then Spring Garden for 2 weeks.
Club voted unanimously for this short term solution.
Meeting adjourned 1:00
See you next week at The Viking Bar and Grill
120 E Main Street.
