Either date is fine with me.  I'd really like the August date to be in
Fremont as I plan on bringing a ton of Town stuff to that meeting.  For
the train meeting anywhere near is fine as I just plan on bringing some
cars and not a whole train setup.  Of course I am always partial to
Fremont as it's just the right distance for me to travel.

Well, we have two proposed dates, both on Saturday:

       August 14, or August 7.

I can make either date . Who wants to choose?)

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'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.)

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.

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? :-)

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 the November meeting were to be held
in Fremont, would that change folks amind about where we should
meet in August?

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?

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. :-)

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".

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?

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.
