UGH! We have one possibility of a Civil War Museum, I'm hoping it'll work out. This has been a long 7 days of hitting the bricks knocking on doors. I know we'll find a place. The schools can't help us because we meet during the day. There is a place and I'll keep you posted where we land!

Out of our search we received 50 bolts of fabric donation and have meet very lovely people doing amazing ministry all through our little town. That alone is worth the search! :-)

One of our guilds meets in a common room at an upscale assisted living facility.

electric company
gas company
to name a few.

Churches, libraries, Senior Centers, Town Halls, K of C or Masonic Hallsnd we use the National Guard Armory for shows. There are lots of possibilities.

One guild I am in meets at a library, the other at a Sr. Center. The library is free (although we make an annual donation) and the Sr Center is $20 per meeting. Some utility buildings have a community room that can be rented for a small amount. Keep checking around and good luck finding a new place to hold your meetings.
