Format wise, Harry's Hofbrau is an ideal place for BASFA. I personally like the
idea of us getting our food before we sit down. Having a server take orders or
deliver food while we're in the middle of meeting is disruptive. However, one
of the reasons BASFA never tried Harry's Hofbrau is because the secretary
really, really hates the food there and we don't want to lose her.

Subject: [Basfa] Meeting Location Hunt and Schedule...
First of all, I’d like to thank those of you who braved the weather last night
for making it to our fist meeting in exile. We have a big task ahead of us, so
we can use help from every one on this list. Please be aware of the criteria
for a new venue when making a suggestion:
Separate Meeting RoomOpen past 9, or willing to let us stick around as they
close.Have day and time regularly availableAffordable menuCan handle up to 40
or more, but regularly around 20.Diverse Dietary Menu (if possible)Not another
Coco’s or Carrows (owned by the same corp - and we don’t need them to close on
us again…)
As we decided at this weeks meeting, we will continue to meet at the Round
Table on Oakmead Parkway while we search for a new venue. We will meet
exclusively at the Round Table through Martin Luther King day, and then
alternate weeks with another venue (these have already been confirmed with the
reservation desk).
Here is the schedule through the end of February:
Monday LocationDec 28 Round Table, SunnyvaleJan 4 Round Table, SunnyvaleJan 11

trip to the Lyons down the street from there to see if they have anything of
use.
