Anyone know why this meeting is being held at the Brookfield Zoo Discovery Center at 8:00 AM this Saturday? Something wrong with Village hall?

The reason I ask this is if this is an important workshop it seems that it should be held in town where there is easier access to the public. If one was to go to the zoo for this meeting are they going to have to pay for parking or an entrance fee? Since the meeting is at 8AM and the zoo's regular hours for opening is at 10AM, I could assume some arrangements have been made to get the public in at no cost. In either case it seems to me that this location is a poor choice for simple access. I'm out of town this weekend. I hope there will be additional workshops.

I think parking is free for anyone who wants to attend. I don't know why they are having the meeting at the zoo, though. I assume that they don't have to pay for the use of the Discovery Center, though. I mean, it would be a really stupid decision to rent space for a meeting when they could use the Village Hall.

No fee for parking or entry.

Probably having it there because it is more comfortable for a long session, and perhaps a different location stimulates brainstorming. At my university our long-range planning sessions are always off-campus, rather than where we have faculty meetings. Unfortunate that it won't be broadcast live, as I understand.

Entry and parking is free. Enjoy the zoo while you are there. The previous Admin held them there - the Zoo donates the space, and unlike the previous meetings these are open to everyone. This was covered at the last Board Meeting. I went to previous one (and was the only one that showed up) and was asked to leave because they closed the meetimng to the public.. That won't happen this time.

Offer free coffee and Danish and you might get a few to show up. At no cost and a free veiw of the zoo I wish i wasn't heading out of town.

I'm going out of town too... Hopefully someone will post a summary of what happened.

FYI - They are going to televise it and broadcast it later and it will probably show up on the website as well.
