* Good news:  still a few places in central locations available
*
* Bad news:  market is such that we won't get a deal (and would end up paying 20% more than we're currently paying)
* Plan is to make an offer subject to board approval, but will need to have some strategic discussions
* Risk of losing clients in moving to a new place, in addition to moving costs and increased rent costs
* Opportunities include high population in new area, and many commuters go through the area
* Ideal to make a decision in the next 1-2 months
* Given current budgetary constraints, should strongly consider whether this is the right time to make a costly move, or create a rigorous plan for increasing BWN revenue
* Will set up a meeting with BWS landlord to talk about renewing lease for that location
* Following April staff meeting, will have a shop-based plan for increasing revenue
* Board to look at increasing revenue through other means, such as sponsorship
