PDS offers to pay for meeting space rental

The East Side Madison Toastmasters have been offered sponsorship for meeting space rental. PDS (Paragon Development Systems) CEO, Craig Schiefelbein (philanthropist and outstanding speaker) is interested in supporting the East Side Madison Toastmasters club by funding rental fees so we can meet twice monthly.

As the Sergeant-at-arms, I have contacted various locations that may meet our needs. Nothing EXACTLY fits our needs so far, but I think investigation of alternatives is a worthwhile investment. Before I continue the research I would like to know if you will remain with our club if

1. we change locations
2. the location is outside of the southeast side of Madison
3. the meeting days change to other days of the week
4. the meeting days change to other Mondays of the month
5. we do not have food service available

Another option is to remain at Monona Gardens Restaurant and

1. pay rental on the meeting room and have no food served
2. rearrange the meeting room so more people can fit comfortably in the space.
3. arrange for a table top podium (or free standing podium)

Please post your opinions on this blog or send me an e-mail.

Thank you,
