i got a place near me where the owner says we can showcase in the summer. (during the hottest months, and if we can't bear the heat outside at the whistlestop) he has a small stage . it is a smoking liquor bar. (that's why i liked and suggested the whistlestop). but has cold air. and although no food. there are several rests.close. (italian,chinese,subway,etc.)and i mean close. and since the summer months are not overwhelmed with sporting events, he would welcome us one sunday a month, and we would not bother anyone. and have plenty of room for our meetings. so were covered all around. mother's day is iffy for many of us and our meeting should be changed to another sunday in may if poss. just my thoughts, no harsh words,broken bones. barn.
