Locations -
Friday evening: There are no formal plans as of yet, but The Vine has stated that they would like to have some social gathering with us that evening. We will all be staying together at The Vine on Friday evening, and people are encouraged to spend time talking to local members and other NP board members.
The Vine is a smaller house than most of the other NP coops, with 9 members and 8 rooms. There is a large living room on the first floor, a smaller one in the basement, and a dining room, as well as a small wooded backyard and a large and private front porch. Most nearby food is typical college town food, although there are several good local restaurants within walking distance, and most locations will have a veggie/vegan option. The house is a few blocks downhill of campus and the downtown.
Saturday and Sunday meeting: United Campus Ministries (18 North College Street). The UCM has a living room-style space for us on both days, and have told me that the space is large enough for all of us. There will be other events at the same time, but I am told that noise should not be a major concern. If this turns out to be untrue, The Vine has offered that we might meet at the house if we have to.
There are also a number of large parks around the area, and members The Vine have suggested that they might be interested in an outing to one of these nearby parks on Sunday afternoon, for those who can stay in the area for a while.
