Perhaps it could be more informal than that. Corporate folks could
just pay the library directly - let them handle the money without it
passing through the lug's hands. But I don't have a strong opinion,
particularly since I rarely attend.<br>

If the folks running the show decide the KPL works, I'm quite happy to
call the KPL directly and pay them my share.<br>

I'd say this is a good idea as well. I'm not sure we're at this point
yet, but it is certainly an option.
As an example:
Kitchener Public Library, Main Branch, Schneider Room
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kpl.org/_images/pages/about/rentals/SchneiderRoom_250.jpg">http://kpl.org/_images/pages/about/rentals/SchneiderRoom_250.jpg</a>
Cost: $60 for 2 hours
Parking: poor
Location: Queen street, good
Total for the year: 60 * 12 = 720
Large sponsor route: 720 / $200 = 4 sponsors
I'm sure we could find 4 such sponsors a year.
Anyone who wanted could chip in to help the large sponsors, no pressure.
If we limit the money factor to only once a year, perhaps at Christmas,
then there won't be the recurring "icky money" issue to distract anyone.
If we can find trustworthy folks to run the Secret Cabal, we should be
able to find trustworthy folks to pay for the room regularly out of
a pre-built fund. I'd be happy donating to this, even without becoming
an official non-profit.
