Thank you Carolyn for checking out this lead.

>> Good news all around:
>> As discussed at our last meeting, on Saturday morning at 10:30-11  I went to the Capital One Café at 625 SW Broadway.  It was rather quiet, mainly singles sitting at small tables or the window bar.  From the entrance several steps lead up to the café, and there is also a ramp.  The stairs to the second floor are near this area, and the elevator is right next to the stairs.
>> On the second floor there is a lounge with couches, comfy chairs, etc.  Almost next to the stairs/elevator there are two small meeting rooms, enclosed by glass walls and doors.  Each room has a board set-up with an oval table and six chairs plus enough space for  a couple more .  Beyond these meeting rooms is a large area with tables and chairs, also small work cubicles along to the  side.  Saturday morning there was no one in either meeting room, just a few people in the lounge area.
>> The café bar is hardly a gourmet delight, but they do have coffee and tea, a few bottled cold drinks, and a limited selection of pastries.
>> As I said at the meeting, the upstairs rooms can be reserved free of charge for non-profits with a 501-C-3 number, which we have through the state affiliate.  
>> I keep wondering what I’m missing, would love it if any of you would check it out!
