Thanks. I would call that a rational and friendly proposal myself. I'm not sure exactly what the details would be, but that could be worked out.

Is this something that could be done in conjunction with the People's Potluck?
I initially thought the Library could co-sponsor, but it seems a much
arger event, perhaps better suited to the sun room or main shows
pace.

 Hi all,

 The scoop from my end was that I took the request to the community
 connections group via email, because we'd been talking about having a
 monthly time where we would direct new members to, perhaps in the form of a
 potluck.

 The thought was that these might overlap. However, the group has been only
 sporadically meeting, and hasn't had a full meeting since the Social Forum
 meeting to discuss this fully.

 There was support from the library group to sponsor the potluck in the
 library space- but they were misinformed about the size of the event.

 I still think it's viable that the IMC may wan
t to be a co-sponsor of this
 at large (through community conenctions) but as of right now it hasn't
 happened.

 Sorry for the confusion- lots of cooks!

 Hi David,
 Thanks for getting back to me. At least now I understand what happened.
 Unfortunately, someone from the Shows Group misinformed Dave P and Beth.
 Reduced fees for the space must be approved by the Finance Working Group. We
 simply don't allow ANY free usage. This was confirmed at the Steering
 meeting last week. The IMC dramatically subsidizes the space as it is and is
 only charging the reduced rate.
 I have already discussed this with the Finance Group and it was determined
 that we cannot reduce the fees any lower than what has been stated.
 I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.
 Joy
