a get- together to discuss dating issues and mingle

I have been looking for a place that would hold a number of people (preferably with a separate room) and would offer refreshments.

There is a Panera in Evanston that has a room however they only reserve it on that morning. I would call as soon as they open but if someone else beats me to it...

I am willing to go that route if there is interest. If the room is not available we could find an corner although that would make it more difficult to speak and mingle.

Does anyone know of a place that I could reserve for no cost? I think somewhere between the city and the suburbs would be good. For those who live west of the city, let's find a convenient place, perhaps at another time. We can also use a city location.

I am looking forward to getting this group off the ground and would appreciate any impute as to locations.

Reading your profiles, it is very apparent that we all are looking for positive feedback from our dating experiences. This looks to be a wonderful group of people and I am looking forward to meeting and talking with you.
