Since I usually find myself wandering a little once I get to a new campus, here’s some specific directions (and an attached image) that should help:
From Madison Ave, take the Lancaster Rd. Drew entrance (the only one with a stop light).
Park in the Tilghman lot immediately to your right, then walk back across the road you came in on, passing Dorothy Young Center for the arts on your left and Wesley House (college admission) on your right.
By now you can see a parking circle with a horseback statue & a huge columned building ahead of you, that’s Mead Hall. Walk right up the steps into the front entrance (a large green door). Open the door and you’re looking right at the venue. See you there!
Food will be provided, and parking is free.
We’ll also be planning a happy hour from 3:30-5 down the street for all attendees! Stay tuned for details. Let us know if you’re staying locally Sunday night, Tryon and I will be happy to host a gathering if enough people are around.
To keep you up to date on all things NJHEWA, at our last meeting we held executive board elections. Here are the outcomes:
We’re also in the process of revamping the NJHEWA.org site, which will be a topic of discussion at the next meeting.
