[Cynnabar] meeting place comment

[connie blair]

Oh and in Ann Arbor a resident/group can use that from free 4 times a year.  But, husband 4 times, wife four times works, so if we would need a dozen or so Ann Arbor residents..............
 
I don't think the Livona or Farmington librarys have the same restriction.

I've looked into this for another organization;
Downtown Ann Abor library has a "Free Space"  meeting room available for use, but again it is down town and parking would be bad.  My other group uses it on Sundays when the parking is free
 
If we have someone in Farmington or Livonia it would be better parking.

Jami,
As someone who's waaaay over 20, but still in school, I resemble that remark!!!  <g>

As someone who still has somewhat of an outsider's perspective, I strongly believe that holding the meetings at UM discourages people who are not associated with UM from attending.  Beyond the logistical hell that is downtown Ann Arbor, holding events at a university raises the question of whether or not it is open to the public. I attend a lot of events at colleges and this is always an issue.  In fact, had I not met y'all in Saline, I would have never ventured to UM for a practice/meeting because most things at a university are for those affiliated with the school.  Additionally, even if such a meeting is open to the public and people understand that, one also wonders whether it be dominated college age kids.  That can be a turn off for many. Of course, our group is mostly not college age.  In fact, our ages probably turn off college students because with few exceptions, most of us are over 30 (I know that is awful but think back to
 when you were 18-22...we are no longer cool).  I think that one of the questions that needs to be answered is who is our target market?  This should, at least in part, affect where meetings, practice, and events are held.
