<html><head></head><body>We seem to be getting further from Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti. What about EMU or a restaurant in Ypsilanti (not the Corner too loud Brewery)? I thought we wanted it accessible to students. I love the idea if having workshops again.<br>

we have not paid for a venue (per se) since I've been in Cynnabar. That said, part of the reason we have had free meeting spaces is because at restaurants or bookstores, we are expected to spend money while we are there. My understanding is that our deal with the Classic Cup Cafe was that a certain percentage of meeting attendees are expected to purchase food. (I've never seen the details of this written down though.)<div><br /></div><div>I <i>hate </i>making people feel as though they have to buy something in order to attend our meeting. On the other hand, if we do not meet somewhere where attendees are expected to spend money, we may have to pay to use the location. After all, venues do have to make money. So unless we can find that Perfectly Ideal Space, we will probably have to choose one or the other of these options.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br /><div class="gmail_quote"><span>On Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Karen St John via Barony <span dir="ltr"><<a
