Dear NFB Boulder Valley Chapter members and friends,

accessibility issues at Table Mesa Station and Westminster Station and how
we might help make changes happen. She welcomes questions and answers. 

 

Please pass this information on to others who would benefit from Ms.
Erving's presentation.

 

Please read below for directions to the meeting place and contact

If you are planning to attend, please let us know so we can accommodate
everyone. 

 

The NFB of Colorado day at the Capitol is on January 14th at 8:00 A.M. in

Everyone who can make it is encouraged to be there. 

 

There will be an audio-described rodeo at the Stock Show on January 20 at

The Promo code is the word audio. Everyone will sit in section 210 for good
reception. 

 

Our meeting place is in a prime location. It is in the First Presbyterian
Church of Boulder, at 1820 15th Street. This is just a block from the RTD's
Boulder Transit Center, which is at 14th and Walnut in downtown Boulder. 

This month we will meet in Room 250 in the education wing (Geneva Wing)
(Please see below for detailed directions.) This is a large church which
participates actively in the community, and which has many outside groups
meeting there. Please come directly to our meeting, and do not become
distracted by other activities such as those offering a meal. 

After the meeting, there will be the opportunity to enjoy any of the many
restaurants which are very close. 

The following are detailed directions to our meeting from the Boulder
Transit Center: 

The Transit Center is at the corner of 14th Street and Walnut Street. Go out
the west exit from the waiting room and north to the corner. Walk east along
the south side of Walnut to 15th Street, and cross 15th Street. On the far
side of 15th Street, turn south. There will be a grassy strip between the
sidewalk and the street. On your left is a small parking lot. (You will
cross one driveway.) 

Soon after that, you will find a wide sidewalk going to your left (east).
Walk east about ten feet, then go down three steps, and proceed straight
ahead across the drive to the building entrance. There are other entrances,
but this is the entrance we are to use. 

Inside the building, walk straight ahead to the far wall, then turn left
into the hallway. After a while on your right you will find a hallway. Turn
to your left and jog through a doorway. Turn back to your right, and you
will pass on your right stairs going up, a door, and then the elevator. Go
up (either the stairs or the elevator) to second floor. Room 250 is located
between the stairs and the elevator. 

Following are alternate directions via Canyon Boulevard: 

Canyon runs along the south side of the Transit Center and another building.
Walk east on Canyon to 15th Street. Cross 15th and turn north. You will walk
beside the edge of a small fenced playground. Then you will walk along
beside a solid wall which has no entrances (but does have some large
indentations for windows). Cross a driveway and soon you will find the
sidewalk going east, with the steps, as described above. 

If you have questions or need further directions to this meeting location,
contact President Maryann Migliorelli at 720-284-2318 (cell), or

We look forward to seeing you at a meeting full of valuable information.

 

Warmly,
