[vox] New meeting location needed soon!

[Alex Mandel]

I was just exploring the City of Davis website and found the price list
for all of their venues. I'll summarize it as less than $20 a meeting
for almost any facility they have, with a note that on-going ie
negotiated long term repeating things can get lower rates.

I think we could probably manage $150 for the year for rental space
until the library is back. Well +200ish refundable deposit.

Would give us an incentive to fund raise more.
