Well, currently I'm unable to attend any of the meetings because they're to late in the day, otherwise I'd be glad to attend at least one of the meetings. I suppose the current location wouldn't be a problem as long as I had a bus pass, which I do for now. But, like I said, this is to late in the day.. seeing as I have to be in the shelter at 6:00pm. Well, given the responses to this request, I'd say we are pretty good <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> meeting at the Okemos location. If anyone finds a more centrally located coffee shop, or other venue that meets our requirements, please post it to the list. Jeremy, please try to come to one meeting at the new location, then you can decide if it is worth the trip.
