Dear kwlug:<br>
<br>
I have just been notified by First United (King & William in Waterloo)<br>
that we have now been approved to meet there, with wi-fi internet<br>
access, without charge.<br>
<br>
We have been approved to meet there for many months now, however, only recently has free public wi-fi access been established for general use.<br>
<br>
Which is to say - if, when, and should, kwlug desire or require an<br>
alternative to SJK, this location is in the hopper and will be<br>
available. Subject to room availability, of course, but there are<br>
several suitable rooms, so that should not be a problem. In the end,<br>
because of the extensive approval process now traversed, we are<br>
pre-approved - unlike any other alternate site proposed to date, a single phone call would immediately secure space for kwlug to meet.<br>
<br>
This location satisfies all criteria laid out at<br>
<a href="http://kwlug.org/node/719" target="_blank">http://kwlug.org/node/719</a> (kwlug meetings - location facilities<br>
criteria.) [Please note: This page is not an 'official' statement of<br>
kwlug's position, however, it was presented to the list some time ago<br>
and debated, if only slightly. It seems to be the consensus of kwlug,<br>
or at least the list, given the lack of contradiction with the contents.]<br>

Personally, I find it all but impossible to hear at SJK. I miss a<br>
substantial amount of what is being said - due to background noise,<br>
and the (need for an) audio system. That is largely my own personal<br>
situation, but not entirely - others have expressed the same sentiment.<br>
<br>
I do not want to reopen the unresolved voluminous discussion of late<br>
last / early this year by this posting, I am merely notifying kwlug<br>
and the list of a successful conclusion to my proposal and attempt to secure an alternate meeting site for kwlug, should it wish to make use of it.<br>

it was for an event that is 1 hour. Can't remember if the sign says 1 or 2 hours<br>free parking.<br>-- <br>Khalid M. Baheyeldin<br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a>, Inc.<br><a href="http://2bits.com">http://2bits.com</a><br>
