[KWPeace-groups] location for October 1st

[Sue Klassen]

I’ve talked things over with Trisha at Stirling about having Stirling a venue.  We would need to have our own Event Insurance in order to hold it there.  We could not hold it on October 1st—the kitchen renovations are running behind schedule, and are now targeted to be done the end of September.  Trisha has penciled in our event for October 15th as a backup location.  I’m hoping another venue opens up—it’s still possible that kitchen renovations could be further delayed, and we wouldn’t be able to hold the event there in the end.  

Stirling can be an excellent venue for some future event, particularly if Stirling is co-sponsoring the event.  If Stirling is co-sponsoring, then we don’t need separate insurance.

> Hi everyone, I recall that I was to check to see if St. johns church might be available for our event in October if we could not book City Hall - so, I am wondering if we have City Hall booked?  As I mentioned, if it is available, we should be able to secure it for free as they have an annual grant to cover facilities costs that non-profits can access (but only once a year).  Please let me know, I don't want to bother the church about a booking if we have it sewed up.  Thanks!
