John, that is the best idea I have heard so far. I suppose the main
problem may be reserving the room because it is a popular place for
special occasions like reunions, anniversaries, etc. Ron Ralph had
his 70th birthday celebration in the room. (Gil Ediger recently
celebrated his 70th in the biergarten.) The Grotto's many computer
wizards can handle the technical setup. On 6/1/2018 10:45 AM, John Schneider

The Sierra Club has been meeting at Schultz Beer Garden for several years now. They have a large back room that (I think) may have a projector and, of coarse, you have your beer and burger right there, even during the meeting.John On May 31, 2018, at 7:50 PM, <pstrickla...@austin.rr.com> <pstrickla...@austin.rr.com> wrote: I have some thoughts on UT Grotto's search for a meeting room. Someone posted that we might need a max occupancy of 100. I have been counting our biggest meetings for years, and they seem to max out around 65 people. So, 70 might work. A pizza/burger joint party room might have a 60" TV, which might work for 20 people, but not well for 65. A digital projector on a wider screen would be best, but rooms so equipped would likely rent for more. If we bring our own projector, lap top and, perhaps a screen, we might get a cheaper room. We might need two or three people who own projectors and lap tops, and decide each week who is bringing it. A branch library room might work, but people are going to want to go somewhere for beer afterward. If the parking for the library and the beer joint were close to the same, we might not have to move cars after the meeting...which would bring more people to the second event. The formal atmosphere of the library might help keep people from talking among themselves during the meeting.
