On this board, or in our membership, we have GOT to have someone who attends
a church. Churches have halls that are rarely used outside of Wednesdays
and Sundays, usually have plentiful free parking, and can be had for cheap
or free to that church's members. Or a VFW hall, or a Grange Hall, or SOME
other meeting place that a.) isn't on a busy college campus, 2.) doesn't
require navigating a maze of sometimes-locked doors to get in and out, and
III.) doesn't randomly change our rooms every month. Oh, and did I mention
cheap and/or free? In addition, some churches have gyms or community halls
that have ample space for, say, big auctions, as well as the above-mentioned
plentiful free parking. Is there anyone on this list (or if not here, can
we ask the general membership) who fits this bill? I fear that we're
outgrowing the capacity of our SPU digs, and I have to tell you that parking
in that alley on a dark night is starting to get to me.

I fear that if this keeps up, we won't be back to many SPU-hosted meetings.
It's just not worth all the risk. I'm also 100% certain that we lose new
members when they can't find a place to park within three blocks of the
building. Any suggestions?

Phil
