Update: I went ahead with reserving a meeting time for us tomorrow to ensure it'd be available to the club -- 7:00PM to 8:15PM.
I hope that helps!

I can reserve a time slot for tomorrow if there's enough interest in going to the library for a change in pace and scenery. I think it'd be good for transitioning back to in-person meetings!

Speaking with the Technopia folks, they're interested in having us, but it sounds like it would happen in the Sept. time frame, I'd like to have a couple in person meetings before that.
Is this something people would be interested in doing tomorrow?
Thanks, Tim.

Hey all,
I've learned that the library in my town is open to the public for hosting club meetings! More info:
https://hudsonpubliclibrary.com/
Some of the benefits I can think of for having meetings at the library include:
- Free hosting - Free public wifi - Free on-site parking - Low noise levels - Projector and whiteboard are available - Books, music, movies, etc, are available for checking out (https://bark.cwmars.org/eg/opac/home) - Adjacent to many restaurants, most having outdoor seating - Has EV charging stations nearby - Access to well-maintained walking trails and public parks
Cons:
- Conference room capacity is capped at 10 occupants - Meetings must end 15 minutes before library's closing time, so would have to end at 8:15PM - Many restaurants might be closed by 9PM
I could imagine going back to our usual monthly meetings, from 7:00PM to 8:15PM on Thursdays, then walking over to one of the restaurants next door for food and drinks. I can personally vouch for these local establishments, all reachable within a 5 minute walk:

What do you think?
