AGENDA
5:00 - 6:00 pm -- Round table Discussion for Members only Topic: Discuss member specialties/areas of preference – who’s doing what and in what area of town? A networking opportunity for members. It makes connecting the right organizer with the right client easier, if you aren’t the right fit. Also good for finding out who is interested in assisting others.

7:20 pm -- Program
8:20 pm -- Adjournment
Important parking and direction information:
There are many large events held at the center, mostly on the weekends. Because of that, they have several parking lots. The two lots that are closest to the building are the ones you want to park in, especially since it will be dark when we leave the center.
The first lot surrounds the building. There are about 35 spots there. The second lot is directly across from the front entrance. It’s a parking lot of a business that allows the center to use their lot for evening events. The sign says 200 - The Capital Companies. It’s on Bluestone Road, like the center, but the sign is on the side of the lot that faces the CityWalk shopping center. Heritage Green’s parking map does NOT have this lot marked.
Click here for directions, but use above information for parking lots.
