[All] Where to have future Kitchener meetings

[Robert Milligan]

Susan,

The problem with the St. John's Kitchen location is that occasionally  
a disconnect occurs & nobody is there to open the door. And Joe may  
not always be available to provide a key. Whereas re. the Queens  
Commons Cafe, as long as we can book around their existing bookings  
and early enough in advance, we shouldn't have significant problems in  
meeting there. Perhaps we should check with Margaret O'Shea-Bonner on  
general availability -- she'll be back on Monday.
