Re: [GSAS-board] Speaking of SPU and meeting locations...

Phil:

I would love help finding a place. I have investigated the following (and 
note..)

* Seattle Aquarium (big banquets only, catered and $$$)
* UW (Seems like trouble bringing a private group (and $$$ parking)
* The burke/Henny galleries at UW (parking)
* I think we could make NSCC work (but it is REALLY far north for some)  
* A restaurant (the Rock has a room, but does serve beer, same with red hook et 
al.)
* A hotel downtown (I don't know where to start)
* Another private school/church (again, my contacts are in Edmonds)

So our club is medium sized and tends to be messy with lots of crumbs, moved 
chairs, and some water spills.  The PSAS meets at a private home, The puget 
sound killies are on hiatus.

It looks like the dive club meets where ever and then gets wet so I would love 
some opinions on some places YOUR club meets.

Hold it, it looks like the mushroom club meets at the center for urban 
horticulture near UW.  The NHS hall holds 220 people and would be great for 
Susan as the meet at the same time (different room?)  So UW is back on the 
list...
