Well, we have two proposed dates, both on Saturday:
August 14, or August 7.
I can make either date . Who wants to choose?)
I've seen a couple requests for returning to Fremont, if the
Fukaya Room at the main library is available. (I haven't checked,
but I will look for the contact info.)
Are there any other venues to consider? Does anyone in another
city want to take a crack at planning the event in a city closer
to their home? :-)
If the room in Fremont is available, should we try to reserve
it now, or wait (how long) for discussion?
I'd prefer the November meeting to be in Fremont, since I want
to drag my train tables to the meeting. (I'd rather not have to
take them on the freeway on their first adventure in the back of
the pickup truck! ;-) If the November meeting were to be held
in Fremont, would that change folks amind about where we should
meet in August?
When we pick the date, and have a room set up, I'll post that
info on the BayLUG home page, and the BayInsider page. If we'll
be in Fremont, I'll also alert our contact at The Argus, to see
if we can get some pre-meeting press. :-)
I'll presume that we want a 2-hour members-only session for show
and tell plus trading and selling, and 'public' portion after that.
I've got a couple things to discuss with the membership. Does anyone
else have any agenda items for the August meeting?

So far I've heard nothing against August 14. I'm still lobbying for it. But
I'm always saying things. I'd like to hear from more folks.

I don't know how far in advance rooms get typically booked there. But I have
nothing against meeting there in August and in November too.

Just to see if there's something else to pick from, I'll look into finding a
room in Castro Valley. Should we attempt to meet in the Tri-Valley sometime?
Pleasanton maybe?

If I might spin the question another way for folks who live north of SF and
north of Oakland (Bill Katz, David Simmons, etc): where would you propose a
meeting?

Good. Are there any other sorts of free public service venues that anyone
knows about? I called Radio Disney AM1310 and we can get a public service
announcement aired, and I'll write copy for it if no one objects (I used to
make radio commercials for a living).
Would anyone object if I wrote up a press release that we could send out if
needed? Wherever we meet, should we consider sending releases to any of the
area's schools? If more than a coupla folks think a press release is a good
idea, send me quotes from yourselves that I can use in it. Don't make them too
flowery - just say in one or two sentences why you like the club: what you put
in, get out, why you show up, etc. You don't have to be a member to submit a
quote, you just have to have been to one. If I get too many I might have to
edit or not include some, but I'd rather have more than enough. Also you could
send more than one set of sentences. Deadline is 7/25. Send those quotes to
the spam-inhibited radiotitan@yaNOSPAMhoo.com with a subject of "Press Release
Quote".

Two hours is good, and I'd like some feedback about our website and how folks
feel it should/n't look and behave. I'll try and remember to bring a tape
recorder rather than write notes. I don't want to take tons of time away from
trading etc., but our site is an effective full-time communicator in
expressing the purposes and personality of the club so it shouldn't be
overlooked.

Since the two hours is for members only, how do you define "member"?
Is there an official registry somewhere? (I didn't see any on baylug.org)
Who do I pay dues to?

I know that my preference would be the 7th. I could probably go the 14th,
though if it was early enough, ie, pre-noon. I have plans for the evening of
the 14th.
Of course, I'm just excited to be able to actually go to one this time. The day
will just determine whether I can bring my entire Ninja Superfortress or not.

Ooo superfortress :-)
A couple of people have expressed their desires for earlier times. IIRC the
last meeting started at 10am. Can the Fukaya Room be booked as early as say
9am? I know it might seem like a long day, but if we quit at 3 (maybe 4 at the
latest) might it be better? BTW, no one has to stay for the whole thing.
That Fukaya room is really good. We've got a door on the outside wall by the
parking lot for walk-ins, and it's a busy library. I'm not sure of anything
that good in Castro Valley or San Leandro, but I'll still look around. San
Leandro's Community Library might have a room.
What about considering some toy stores? Some toy store managers/owners might
do it to ring up an extra sale or two. I think Castro Valley's "Village Toys"
store is too small but I'll check that too.

Great idea! I would like to stay for longer, but I'm not much interested
in the public part. If the members-only part could be lengthened by starting
earlier ...

Is there any "non-commercial" requirement for getting the free room at the
library?
I'll reiterate my vote for Aug 14 since I can't go Aug 7.

More than likely. We did it last time for free. Mark Benz set it up.

Hey everyone, welcome the new guy, baptized by fire! :-)
It probably is a good thing to discuss our next get-together anyway for the
Fukaya room, though much thought and energy is being put into the train layout
right now. Can you possibly help? That's what needs critical attention for the
August 4 - 6 NMRA show In San Jose.
Mike Poindexter, who has the base of the layout, lives in Selma (a few minutes
south of Fresno) and needs real help in building it up. I've been down to
help, but probably can't do it again before the show.
What about the next date being sometime in September? And we should probably
book December's meeting now as well.. remember last year? :)

preferably.
