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