It might be a good idea to meet at a quilting store or casual restaurant somewhere near the 5 fwy. Some of us live in San Diego and South Orange Co. and some live in L.A. and North Orange Co. I know there there are quilt stores with large classrooms, but they aren't very close to the 5 fwy. I know some Denny's and Marie Callendar's that have a side room for meetings.
I live near the 91 and the 57 fwy, north of the 5., but I also would be willing to travel a distance.
