Good afternoon all,

 

Don't forget the fabulous Greater Alexandria Chapter will hold its next
meeting tomorrow, Thursday, April 19, at 7:00pm at the Meridian at
Eisenhower Station, 2351 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA 22314, on the 25th
floor clubhouse. Come for the cupcakes, stay to learn some stuff!

 

Here are the walking directions from the metro station:

 

Take the yellow line toward Huntington and get off at Eisenhower Avenue
station. 

Exit the fare gates and then exit to the right out to a service road running
left and right in front of you. Find the curb cut and cross to the other
side and turn left to go down the sidewalk toward Eisenhower Ave - you will
hear heavy traffic in front of you.

When you get to the corner, turn right. Eisenhower will be on your left, and
lovely green grass will be on your right. 

Walk one block until you hear the crossing signal which will be clicking.
Push the button, then cross left when the  signal indicates to cross. The
intersection is not quite perpendicular, so head a bit leftward as you
cross.

When you get to the other side of Eisenhower, turn left, and walk about 20
feet, and the front door to the Meridian will be on your right. There are
two sets of double doors which all take you into the lobby. 

The front desk person will let you in, and send you up to the 25th floor
when you tell them you are here for the NFB meeting. 

The elevators are in a bay right in front of you as you come in the front
door. The front desk is on your right and facing into the lobby. 

Once you reach the 25th floor, the door to the club room is just ten feet
from the elevator, right or left depending on which side you come out. Walk
a couple of feet, the tile ends, and you are in a carpeted hallway running
to your left and right, the door is just in front of you, slightly to the
right. The bathroom is slightly to your left. All rooms are braille labeled.


 

There is a subway sandwich shop just past the front door of the building on
Eisenhower. It is open until 8:30pm. Tell them Brian sent you!

There is also a side entrance to the Meridian on Mill Race. If you  are
dropped off at that door, come in and the front desk will be off to your
left, and the elevator around the corner to the right. You should here the
jazz playing - there is a speaker directly over the front desk. Head toward
the jazz, and then when you are at the front desk, the elevator bay is
behind you and a bit to the left.
