MEETINGS
The next meeting is at Sassy Ann's on the 18th.
7 p.m.
(get there before 7:00 to avoid the cover!)
Dr. Bob has given the following directions:
One way:
Take I-40 East.
Take the Magnolia Ave exit just before the Broadway exit.
Turn left at the first red light on Magnolia onto Randolph.
Turn right at red light, then immediate left to NORTH 5th Ave.
There's an
underpass if you go straight on EAST 5th instead of making the left turn.
Don't go under the underpass.
To north one long block past the auto parts place to Gill.
Turn left on Gill.
Go one block to 4th.
Turn right on 4th.
Go four or five houses down 4th.
Sassy Ann's is in a house. There is a big parking lot there.
Coming from the East is much simpler.
Just take the 5th Avenue Exit off I-40, and it dumps you in Sassy's
backyard.
Bob
