[Cynnabar] meeting minutes for 5/24/10

[Iain Ruadh]

'Able'... sorry but I take a bit of umbrage with that lable being an 'able' veteran.  Chunks of me no longer work as others but I suspect few could even notice.   Some of us are most 'able' to got to many areas that others can attend for meetings.   If the 'ables' can make it there, odds are I too can make it.

You're right, Gregoire, but it was something I wanted to bring to the surface because it is something often overlooked by the "able"...kind of like handicapped bathrooms and stuff like that :-)


OTOH, I love Corner Brewery, think their espresso stout is scrumptious and even think their recent menu expansion is worthy.

Hi Eneko-
 
  Unfortunately, you are right, the public transportation to the Corner Brewery is not as good as it is to the University.
 
   Currently, we are getting no students from the UM to attend our meetings. In fact, as I understand it, we are currently not qualified to be a student group because we have no student members. The number of people who live in downtown Ann Arbor and come to our meetings is only slightly above the number of students who attend. 



 
   It is my opinion that while having good access to public transportation would be nice, it currently isn't really benefitting our attendance and is perhaps not as important as some of the other amenities a non-University setting might provide. 



 
   Additionally, I would encourage those people who don't have access to rides of their own, to send a message ot the list to see if anyone is willing to car pool from their end of town. In my opinion the group has become too isolated and needs to spend more time together anyways!



 
Thanks,
 
-Gregoire.

Please note that for those gentles who use public transportation that coming from the west (A2) the #3 bus is the one that probably comes the closest; get off at Forest & Hamilton and walk about five blocks over the Huron River. Coming from Ypsi east side, the #10 runs closest. Sadly, until school resumes, the last cross-town #3 for the day leaves at 5:48p, arriving at Forest at 6:20p or so. The last #10 comes near the Brewery around 9:30p, however.

New Meeting Site

His Excellency Gregoire suggests we consider how we can make business meetings more fun and parking easier. Corner Brewery in Depot Town in Ypsilanti is willing to have the group meet without requiring us to make a purchase.  The group is open to ideas.  More discussion to follow.
