Event Space Rental

[sungold123.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

Some of you may be familiar with Pets In Need, a local animal shelter. We host a silent auction each year as our major fundraiser. In the past, we have always had it at at Mad Oyster Studios in East Somerville. We're considering moving the location this year. We really need a place with parking of some sort (even if it's metered) and preferably some place that serves alcohol, although this is not a big deal.

Does anyone have any recommendations about local venues that we could possibly rent for this event? I am planning on contacting the VFW Hall in Davis. Also, we probably don't want to have it at a church because of a) parking, and b) we don't want people to think we are religiously affiliated.

Thanks in advance for your help!
