Someone else reserved the meeting room friday evenings for the rest of the year.
The only weekday evening available this month was Monday August 10th.
The meeting room has been reserved for dojos in September for:

    09-07 M
    09-15 T
    09-21 M
    09-28 M

So which do dojo folks prefer for September?

    fridays out in the open (if so, the reservations will be released)
    various days in the room (as already reserved)
