[sudoroom] Elevator access

I just stopped by the East Bay Meditation Center to ask about elevator
access for our disabled member, and they said it's no problem. I
talked to Debra, who runs a meditation class for people with
disabilities. She told me the elevator entrance is on 22nd, and we
just need a key from the landlord. They are definitely in a dispute
with him, but consider it his responsibility to provide handicapped
access to the upstairs. It's not like the elevator has to be accessed
through where their meditation classes are held. Someone has to go
back to the landlord and tell him we need a key for elevator access.
