I can check with the powers that be in our church - Pleasant Grove Community Church, Roseville, CA.
If you have no other church volunteer in the Sacramento/No. CA area, I would be glad to drive the regional conference at my church. We have an ideal worship center with the ability to partition into separate meeting rooms if needed. Plus we have 2 conference rooms, a library and a prayer room for smaller groups. Also have large spacious hallways where tables could be set up for a luncheon.
We are located about 20 miles from Downtown Sacramento and the Airport.
I do not meet the criteria for item 2. But I have participated in Slack as well as this site for over a year. It was through Slack and another Slack-er that I found out about TechSoup and got our church signed for it.
We used it to procure several items that saved us significant $$ on those items.
@smithje3 (Faith Ministries in Lafayette, IN) and I are looking forward to hosting a Spring Regional Roundtable together at MBS’ datacenter! We have facilities reserved for March 6th (our datacenter, The Switch SuperNAP, is about 12 miles south of Las Vegas), and are working on lodging and special event details!
The Church Network Metro Church Business Administrator Regional will be in our datacenter Thursday and Friday that week-- a number if IT folks are planning on inviting their business administrator or executive pastor to attend both! Email @glwood for details on that event.
@splithare19500908 (Richard) we have found that Criteria #2 is very important for the regional event to go well so we’d encourage you to attend the event in Las Vegas that Nick’s team will host. Then in the future we might be able to have you host.
@computer_freak_8 (Jared), since we are having a location in Chicago and will be the first opportunity for Tim’s team to host we will pass on having a location in Des Moines this year.
