Jim Shulz has secured St John School  on Kingsbury and Monroe in Laporte on Saturday Nov 7 from 10 am till Noon pm as a test date to see how the venue will work out . It is a 84 x 50  room with 22 high ceiling. The School charges $20 an hour for the use of the room so the more that show up the less it will cost per person. If this works out we will be posting an indoor schedule.
