There are four Home & Garden Expo Centers in the greater Phoenix 
area.......each has free meeting space......go to 
http://www.homeandgardenexpocenter.com/  and take a look -- the one 
in Peoria is right behind Dillons, a great BBQ place......

Did I mention that they are FREE, and already set up for 
meetings....and I bet if you wanted to, you could promote a LINUX DAY 
for the public..."Everything you ever wanted to know about Linux", or 
"Linux for Dummies"..."Linux 101 - Free Course"..

and show it off to newbies...like me....
