We originally met at the Hastings Branch Library for the first couple of years. We were unable to reserve the meeting room this year, so we ended up at the Pasadena Lamanda Branch Library. <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18600" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18601" dir="ltr">The Saturday meetings run from 2pm to 5:45pm and were aimed at HAK members who couldn't make the Thursday meetings and potential new members who are curious about our group. Since it is held at a public library, it is easy for people to just drop by, and we'd occasionally have kids there, too. It was a long meeting to allow you to be able to get some work done. You can also just talk, get advice, and see what other people are working on. On the con side, the wireless is not great, and we couldn't do anything
that required special equipment or that would make a mess. We also had
to not make too much noise.</div><br><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18347" dir="ltr">We originally met at the Hastings Branch Library, which was a more attractive venue. There was plenty of shaded parking, and the meeting room was right next to the circulation desk and on the way to the bathroom, so we had a lot of people wander through our meetings. They were fun.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18397" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18678" dir="ltr">The turnout has been pretty low since we started meeting at Lamanda. The space is bigger and we have more privacy, but we are less discoverable. The meeting room is in the bowels of the library, and the only people who would go back there are people who want to use the copy machine or the restroom. <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18928" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18869" dir="ltr">My issue is that the turnout has been pretty low. When the turnout is only a few people, and those people are the regulars who already come to the Thursday meetings, then I'd rather retire the Saturday meetings in favor of adhoc meetings at more desirable meeting places.</div><br>Lan<br><br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18156" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18155" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18154" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18153" dir="ltr"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18157" face="Arial" size="2"> <hr id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18813" size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Frank Bellino <prisonerprince@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> hak@sgvhak.net <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, January 3, 2016 12:27 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [SGVHAK] Library Meetings<br> </font> </div> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18158" class="y_msg_container"><br><div id="yiv7176943223"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1451798373235_18160" dir="ltr">Lan, I'm a nubi/nuby/newby/lurker who follows the lists and has attended a couple meetings at duPar's but not yet one of the hak/lab events.

Hi all,<br>
So we have cancelled the last 3 Saturday meetings in a row, two of them because of the holidays and one of them because of SCALE.<br>
Two items:<br>
* I am out of town on May 28th. Unless someone else wants to host the meeting, I intend on cancelling it.<br>
* Our current reservation for the library meeting room will need to be renewed around the May/June timeframe. I believe our reservations last till July.<br>
* Do we want to go back to Hastings Branch Library? * Do we want the Saturday meetings at the library at all?<br>
<br>
If you care about this at all, please speak up. If I don't hear anything, I'm going to let the library reservation lapse and cancel the Saturday meetings from July on out.<br>
Lan<br>
