I thought this was worth forwarding to the list, since it adds to the general "pot" of suggestions. Marji's message had my own message to the list appended, but I'm stripping that off; it wasn't all that important in the first place (just something to get the discussion going)...

As an aside... Even after 36+yrs in the US and even though I now often do it myself, I still, sometimes, pause and wonder at how willing Americans are to travel, long distance, to meet. And hour in the car -- one way! -- is not considered to be much of an obstacle, unless it's at night and, sometimes, not even then. When I was growing up, visiting a friend who lived 20 minutes away by bus or tram was going to "where the devil says good-night"; an hour (by train) meant spending the night, as likely as not...

Subject: Re: [lace] Re: Where does your lace guild meet?

We decided not to have a permanent library.  We met a local restored college building that is attached to the library.  It is a beautiful building.  Academy Square in Provo, UT.  It is the site of the original Brigham Young University.  The city is centrally located for our ladies, some who travel over an hour to meet with us.  My other guild meets in a library in a city closer Salt Lake City.  That is an hour drive for me.  Some of us belong to both guilds so we get to meet twice a month.  The Beehive Lacers have a library in someone's home.
