Having seen first hand one of the rooms under consideration for meetings I can tell you it would simply be an awesome place for meetings. The new museum is at the top of Walkera way. Drive right straight up, no turns, very little cross traffic. Very abundant parking, with plenty of spots for those with disabilities. The room we looked at on our early tour rents for a good chunk of change. I think it the one on their website that lists at $1,295.00 per night. This of course would only be possible if we can work out arrangements for trades with the club supporting the museum with outreach events. Talks will be continuing. I personally will do all I can to support the museum with astronomy events. By the way, the museum opens to the public on Friday morning at 10:00 AM. I'll be there. Steve

Any past issues are past and probably vary depending on who you talk to. I don't think the Clark Planetarium has a room where we could meet, end of story, and parking would be a problem.
The Museum of Natural History would offer the positive aspects of the Hansen Planetarium without, hopefully the drawbacks. I do wonder if SLAS would have to pay a fee to meet at the Museum, however.
BTW, I watched a Vietnam documentary on the history channel. Infantrymen in WWII saw on average 10 days/year of combat, Vietnam Infantrymen averaged over 200 and 2/3's of those soldiers were drafted.

Chuck, You had mentioned that Clarke Planetarium had issues with SLAS meeting there. I am unfamiliar with the reasons you had mentioned. Can you shed some more light on this?
Hi Jon, actually, Siegfried is 100% right. At this point, it's water under the bridge and any discussion doesn't belong in a public forum.
Perhaps he or some other board member or long-time clubber familiar with the story can fill you in off-list.
I am sorry I dredged it up; I just long for the nostalgic days of yore. Consider it a character flaw on my part.
Thanks for understanding.
