This is crazy! We shouldn't have to pay to all meet together! Why don't we
hold meetings at different member's houses? I think that would be a positive
experience for a couple reasons:
  -- We won't continually force the same people to travel great lengths
  -- We will foster a stronger sense of community when we invite one another
to our respective homes
  -- I don't foresee any LoCo Team members charging people to stay in their
homes by the hour

I know there are a lot of people in the Boston area without cars but the
commuter rail reaches all the way to Worcester and Providence,RI. I don't
think it'll be an issue to have someone pick people up from a commuter rail
stop to get to meetings.

I'll be more than happy to host the June 25th meeting.
