The center is two blocks from the Vienna Metro.

To cellebrate the new location, the chapter will be providing Pizza and soda at 6:30 and the meeting will start promptly at 7:00. We will be meeting in class room 2. Please e-mail cathy at sks.com if you will be attending so we will have enough pizza for everyone. This promises to be a place that will comfortably hold us all and better enable us to conduct business.

For those who wish to learn the route from the Metro, we will meet at the Fairfax side of the Vienna Metro at 6:15 for a walk over to the center. To get to the Fairfax side, turn rightafter you exit the fare booths instead of the usual left. We will meet immediately to your right when you exit the tunnel. Plese e-mail cathy at sks.com if you are interested in meeting for this walk so we can look out for you. We will leave the Metro promptly at 6:15.

Walking instructions follow:

Turn right after you exit the Vienna Metro fare booth and go through the tunnel.
Turn right after exiting the tunnel and continue on the walk way until it ends.
Turn left and walk out to the walkway along the street.
Turn right and follow that walk way until you reach the Vaden intersection.
This is a lighted intersection that you will need to push a button to get the walk sign. a poll with the button is located on the side furtherst away from the intersection on all four corners. It is not audible at this point.

Turn left and cross the street you were walking along and then turn right and cross Vaden.
Turn left and walk up the other side of Vaden until you hear the large building on your right.
This is the Center, the door is on your right in the middle of the building.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting and showing off the new location.
