I finally got a lead on a few more venue options, they all seem to be in the $150 /day option with a $50 deposit.
The date seems to be the most critical as some of the venues are already booked through August.
1. PSU - they have several venues available downtown , I looked at the smaller options which would take ~ 40 people.
2. World Forestry Center - they have a small room, again 40 odd people but am still waiting on cost and availability.
3. Beaverton Library which looks great and solves parking issues downtown.
4. There are a few community centers and schools that I still need to speak to but it seems doable regardless.
5. The final option, which I really like, is to try and get a sponsor at OHSU and then we may be able to use one of the rooms on the hill ( and it should be free
) this I will investigate tomorrow when I am back on campus.
A head count and possible dates to suite most would be helpful..dB
