Parking Suggestions:

Because of the large size of our group and the small size of our parking area for our community I would like to ask that you park in the back of the hospital.  If you drive around to the back of the hospital along North drive, past the new YMCA on the right you will come to the overflow parking areas.  It’s a little bit of a walk but there’s lots of trees and birds and grass to calm and soothe you on the way in…..

Meeting Location:

The meeting will take place in Park Pavilion, Room N.   Park Pavilion is the back side of the white YMCA Building.  The entrance faces the park.  Room N is downstairs.
