Here's why I never responded to this: 1) According to the above, the
location would be in Largo, not St Pete. We're not sanctioning *new*
meetings, so St Pete would have to meet in Largo to take advantage of
this. 2) This is really a matter for the St Pete meeting coordinator,
not the officers or the group at large.
Really the same thing with a SPC location. If Aaron (or whoever) wants
to arrange something like that, they're welcome to. I would think just
about anything would be better than a coffee shop, but maybe it's just
me. ;-}
