Attend the MEGSL Winter Meeting

Wednesday, January 25, 2012
6:30 – 8:30 pm
Villa Duchesne
801 South Spoede Road
St. Louis, MO 63131-2699

 

Directions for entering the building for the meeting:

Everyone will want to enter in the west doors, so as you approach the front of the building, veer left and follow the drive around the side of the building where parking is available.  I think that the plan right now is for the food to be laid out in the conference room on the first floor and to use that room as our central meeting location.  From there, we can use pretty much any classrooms for the breakout sessions, so we’ll just put up signs and make an announcement when it is time to split up.
