Our meetings are held on the second floor.
When you enter the building you will enter from the sidewalk to
automatically opening doors, you will walk through them to a second set of
sliding doors. Proceed to walk forward about 20 feet and take a small
right. Here is where you will find the stairs leading to the second floor.
When you reach the second floor, you will need to make a left and through
the door that leads to the open floor. You will then walk forward about 30
feet to find the door to the arts and crafts room.
If you need the elevator, after coming through the two sets of doors at the
entrance, you will go forward about 25 feet then walk forward another
few steps until you reach the main hallway, Take a right in to the
hallway. Go about half way down the hall way or about 50-60 feet and there
will be a recessed area in which you will find the elevator on your right.
There is only 4 floors. You will need to press the 2 for the second floor.
When you arrive at the second floor, you will walk a few steps, out to the
main hallway. Here you will take a left. Walk approximately 10 feet and
then take a right in to the arts and crafts room.
We are not allowed to enter this space before 5:30 and must have left by
7:45P.M. Please be sure to pick up all of your belongings, including any
trash. Also, they ask that we do not wander in other parts of the
building. Keep this space better than you found it, so that we may continue
to be welcomed here. The bathrooms are directly across from the Arts and
Crafts room.
Now for the walking directions from the T.
Please note: these directions were specific before the pandemic. We cannot
be positive that there have not been any changes of the businesses or
signals. But, this is the best and most specific I can be at this time. If
you are aware of any changes in relation to these directions, please let
us know.
