How to find us
We are still considering our options regarding a permanent meeting space, but in the meantime, BookMarc's Bookstore has graciously offered to let us meet at their Harlow Street location.The bookstore closes for business at 5:30, but someone will be at the door after that to direct you to the meeting space. We'll need to lock the door when the meeting begins, so we're asking members and visitors to make every effort to arrive before six o'clock. If you're running late, please call the store at 942-3206 as soon before six o'clock as possible, so we can have someone stand by to let you in.
We'll announce news of our peregrinations during future meetings, but if you miss a week, please continue to watch this space for announcements and directions of when our move to our new location will occur. Thanks for your patience!
