===== New Business =====

==== Algonquin Location ====
  * Overall consensus seems to be positive
    * There is Parking
    * Access by bus
    * Minor inconvenience with projector
    * Minor inconvenience with room changes
    * Possibility of getting students to show up
    * Free is better than not, as with the Library
  * Result: Keep Algonquin as a location for the foreseeable future.

==== Room booking ====
  * In limbo due to waiting for Richard Hagemyer to get back to us about the September 1 booking before the actual meeting. Otherwise, we may have to postpone the meeting.

==== Raspberry Pi Day ====
  * Agreement to have one
  * Need to find a venue
  * Saturday preferred to get a whole day
  * get info from Richard as to what events worked at previous Raspberry Pi days
  * Advertise event through Buy a Pi (?)
  * Late October
  * Perhaps find some Halloween related projects

==== Other business ====
  * Let membership know that we are looking for topics and speakers
  * Kelly handed off corporate registration documents to Bruce
