Next meeting (Location)

[Brian Kelsay]

Would you be able to get the same room each time?   That would save some
confusion.  Also, we have started meeting twice per month, would a room be
available on that basis?   So far the library has been very flexible, I
don't think the meeting room we use has been scheduled much.   I think that
few people think to ask.   Also, how late could we have a room?
Currently, we must be out by 9pm.   This does keep the meetings a little
short (6-9).

At my current employer the UMKC campus would be very close, about the same
as downtown, but that's only for a short time.   I like the downtown
location because it's accessible from several highways.   A couple other
things to think about are security and parking.   UMKC might be more secure
and well lit outside, but how is parking at night.
