For now, at least to the end of this year we will be meeting at Moon Dollars in Post Falls.  Almost due north of the Hot Rod Cafe on the other side of the freeway.

Here’s their website: http://moondollarsrestaurant.com/

The food is good and reasonable.  One thing we need to do is support them by purchasing a meal or drink.  They are not charging us for the room which is getting to be a rare thing these days.  Even our local librarys wants $100.00 for a two hour meeting with no overtime.

Any questions call Gary at 208-818-5491 or Beth at 208-818-2150

The address is: 609 N Syringa, Post Falls, Id.

From the Hot Rod Cafe go west on Seltice Way to the second traffic light which is Idaho Road.  Turn right and go to the first street past the 7-11 and turn right onto Polston.  About 1/2 mile ahead on your right is Moon Dollars. 

Offically we are still homeless in Spokane but it’s getting worked out.
