March Meeting Directions

Our March 2016 meeting is happening this Thursday, March 24th at Saint Joseph’s University. We’ll be meeting on the fifth floor of McShain Hall.

If you’re taking public transportation, I recommend taking the SEPTA regional rail – the Paoli-Thorndale line stops at Overbrook Station, which is an 18 minute walk to the meeting location. Click the map for a larger version.

30 Minutes: No Charge
Up to 2 Hours: $3.00
Up to 4 Hours: $5.00
Up to 6 Hours:: $7.00
Over 6 to 16 hours: $15.00
