Note: I've turned this into a table, and listed a bunch of churches and orgs that were suggested to me at last night's Outreach meeting. I don't know much about any of them, but it was suggested that they might all be receptive to hosting town hall meetings and such.&nbsp; -Eli Cohen&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To print use landscape (sideways) and it'll print ok, eden<br />
