For those who were at the Municipal Park in Boise last week, John asked me, or I volunteered to find a place here in Meridian to have a monthly meeting. I found two locations that I think fit our needs.
Idaho Pizza 405 E. Fairview Ave. Merdian. They have a nice room that will hold up to 88 folks, and the room has a partition that will make it smaller since we don't' have the numbers yet. Will not cost to use the room, they will require a credit card just to use for a deposit, nothing will be run on it. It can be done once or each time we have a meeting. They offer discounted food to the group when we hold a meeting, well some sort of deal for us. (dont know specificly, didn't ask details) Most importantly they have no issues with us OCing.
Fuddruckers 3421 N. Eagle Rd Meridian. It is between Ustick and McMillian on Eagle Rd. So far they seem receptive, waiting on the lead manager to check with owner, he doesn't see an issue but checking anyway to see if the OC thing wont cause issue with owner. He said he had never been asked this type of question before, hey.... add one more educated soul to the list. I let him know what the law said, that it is legal and we are not a bunch of yahoos. I emphasized we would also not be drinking there, they do serve alcohol. He was glad of that fact. I am waiting on an answer right now. Alright, they have a nice room but not as large as Idaho Pizza. Should hold 50+ and all they ask is that we eat there. I think if a majority eat then that shouldn't be an issue. 1 out of 20 eat and they will feel we are taking advantage of the free room. I am assuming this, they didn't say it. I did.
Bottom line, these are the two best places I found in Meridian that will fit our needs in all aspects. I tried VFW but they are never open here, at least when I go by. I will PM John Wolver and see when the first meet will get going. Once a month is great. Hope to see a great turnout on this. See you all eventually and look for the post.
