Meet & Greet
I think to be fair we should take a poll and ask people where they would like to meet in Winnipeg. Can't rule out restaurants because some people might enjoy having a light lunch together. It needs to be what works for all people interested in attending.
Do community clubs have rooms, or senior centres? I know community groups can use schools here free of charge. Or does somebody have good connections with a church etc and could let us borrow a room for an afternoon?
