7.00? I have never gotten to meet together with or without food for 7.00 except with our own quilting group. If this is an extra something the owner is using for everyone to get to know each other or whatever, she still has the expense of keeping you cool, water to flush the toilets or clean up spills in the floor and Lights burning for you to see whatever you are doing. I wouldn't complain about 7.00 unless all I was doing was invited to do is come in the new shop and visit and see what all she has.
