[Novalug] New Space needed for meetings

[Jay Hart]

If I could put in my two cents.

Many of us travel from east of Reston/Herndon.  I would say that we try to
keep the meeting location within the square formed by I-66, I-495, Dulles Toll
Road, and Hwy 28.  I think this would help keep the group together.  I'm
willing to travel within reason, and Leesburg is not within reason.

You do mention a great point, lets check out hotels and see if they would be
willing to donate a room on Saturday.  It need not be the same room every
Saturday.

What about Microcenter, can they provide a space???
