I think Sonic is a good location for a meeting, but we will need to provide some clear guidance on directions and parking. The Toby Keith's / Harkin's parking lot is hit or miss, and the garage by the ballpark costs money. 30 cars might prove to be tricky.<br>

I've asked Sonic is they would be willing to host the JUG (they have a large conference room on the first floor) and their response was:<br><br>"I think that it is a great idea and we should look into it."<br>
"This would be great. I'm all for it"<br><br>There are some problems though - needless to say if something of higher priority comes up then we would need to find another location. There is another room that will hold ~25 people though. Their response was: Sonic would try and "reserve to room for several months out. There is always a chance there could be a Sonic training class of
function which of course they would have priority over the room"<br><br>Also they said:<br>"We allow them to bring in food but it is slightly frowned upon." - They do have a cafe on the fourth floor where people could purchase food (similar to what Hertz has - cheaper food and pretty good - I eat there quite often).<br>
<br>It goes with out saying that Sonic would like to be recognized during the meeting since they are providing the location. The response I got was<br>"Also, if JUG sends out announcements to members of upcoming meetings,
it would be nice to note that the meeting is hosted by Sonic. That way
it shows that Sonic is trying to support the JUG community by allowing
the group to have meetings onsite."<br><br>I think it would be an ideal location as it is centralized and a very well known area (I'm assuming).<br><br>Let me know what I should do, should I push forward and get the room reserved well in advanced or should I decline as you all are looking at another location?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<p>The okcCoCo has been supporting the community for 3 years and now we need your support to continue.</p>
<p>The okcCoCo is moving to a new location in Midtown. The new okcCoCo will include many more offices, more coworking space, more social/event space, a gym, bicycle storage, coffee/sandwich shop, outdoor seating, and much more parking.</p>
<p>We cannot do this without your support right now. <a href="http://indiegogo.com/okccoco" target="_blank">We have launched a one week funds drive today to raise $25,000.</a> If we cannot reach our goal, the okcCoCo will close in March.
</p><p>We see this new facility as huge opportunity to create a bigger and stronger community of technical, creative and entrepreneurial individuals. Please take a few minutes right now to help us achieve this goal.</p>
