It is with regret that I pass on the sad news that our friendly oasis at UofT FLIS is no longer available to Unix Unanimous for the monthly meetings. George Bacon has graciously hosted us for many many months and the group certainly appreciates his efforts and recognizes his giant contribution to the success of the group. It is no wonder they named the street after him! And now we must move on. Those of you at the meeting are aware that I collected a few ideas for alternate meeting places. I am asking that if anyone reading this can offer a room that holds about 40 people for three hours one night a month, please let me know. You will be showered with praise and recognized as a uu-guru. The preference among the UU'ers last night is for a place downtownish and at no or low cost. What do you think about charging a meeting fee to support the cost of the rooms? I believe we agreed that the following people would check out these locations: - Community Centre at 519 Church (@ Welesley): sonia@fricker - Central Room Allocation @ UofT: paul@moore - Public Library: paul@moore - Local hospital meeting rooms: taras@utgpu Greg (woods@eci386) will make a representation at this weekend's /usr/group/cdn directors' meeting regarding available funding for Unix Unanimous meetings. The Board of Trade was suggested as a possible location, or perhaps a meeting room could be supplied by a corporate sponsor. My basement in Oakville is still available, but you will have to bring your own chairs. :-) On another topic, Evan is to be thanked for obtaining very capable and interesting speakers for the last two meetings. And thanks to Hugh for entertaining us with Tales of ANSI C! Stay tuned and be sure to call or write if you have a place that UU can call home! -- .../Paul Maclauchlan Moore Corporation Limited, Toronto, Ontario (416) 364-2600 paul@moore.UUCP -or- ...!uunet!attcan!telly!moore!paul "From the end of the world to your town"/EJ&BT'75
