<div>Lewin,</div>

<div>Thank-you for pointing out the ADA compliance question. I am in the process of checking on this through our kingdom's seneschallate. We have to comply with ADA for all of our activities, not just business meetings. At this time, I do not think this means we have to stop holding activities at private residences unless they have been modified to meet certain architectural standards. If I learn otherwise, it will be an education for everyone.
<br><br>As to blatant discrimination based on a disability, I am confident that would not be tolerated in our local group.</div>

<div>In another group we have run into this problem. by society law ( if im correct ) once you open your home to "official business meetings" your home MUST comply with all federal disabilities laws. might want to check this so that you dont interfere with these laws and open a can of worms that you really dont need. its about destroyed a group so far since some folks feel that its ok to hinder the handicapped from attending meetings and then when they speak up for themselves the "some folks" throw a fit and I even watched a few push chairs in front of the handicapped person and make snide remarks about them.

<div>While I'm guessing that it is my house that is being discussed right now, I will put my two cents in this discussion.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Libraries are bad for our family, kids and meetings don't go well together. I would love the meetings to be at a private home, preferably one where there might be a separate room for the kids to go and play and watch tv (yes, we let our kids watch it).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any home would do, and we could even make it on week nights if that were the case. Keeping kids quiet in a common room of adults talking is near impossible, and a big pain the tush for the parents. Which is why we stay home unless we have to come.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And yes, we would of course LOVE people to come and hangout at our house and even stay for a meeting! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd like to see people come over just so that we can all get to know everyone outside of an event. There are a lot of folks in the Barony that I don't know and would love to have a place where I can meet them, where we don't all have a very urgent errand or duty that prevents us from just talking.
