I don't see any negatives to doing this (I doubt we'll suddenly get such 
an influx of people that the room won't be able to hold us all!).  I 
think it will go nicely with the increased focus on providing twelve 
quality meetings each year.  Building up our average monthly attendance 
should help increase our average monthly donations, which in turn should 
help us be able to fund more speakers from the outside.

Good idea!
