* What is their long term vision? We can't/shouldn't take short term space if we dont know this. | |||
* What space do they see for us in long term? 2000 would be a bare minimum. | |||
* What is the revo schedule? Will our short term space be significantly compromised? | |||
* Alex make a list of spaces/buildings which would be suitable. | |||
* City-owned space is ideal. | |||

* Evaluating this program shows that it hasn't been profitable, and likely won't be a good source of revenue generation for a long time. | |||
* With changes in food costs, it does pay for itself, and generates a lot of other benefits (training, winter volunteer retention, socially-focused workshop times, etc) | |||
* Chris thinks we should continue this program through the summer and again through next winter | |||
