[Moo] Stierbach Baronial Business meetings: question to the populous

[Janie Darby]

I think it's definitely worth checking out the church site. If it doesn't
work out, we can look elsewhere.

The Red Cross does blood drives at that church, and I have been there a
number of times. I don't know about meeting rooms, but they have a large
gym.

Let's go for it.
