Due to reduced operating hours at Gere Library, (the facility is now closing at 8 p.m. on Wednesday evenings), the Round Table will be trying a different location. We will meet on September 24 (6:30 p.m. for the Board–all are welcome to help plan–and 7:15 p.m. for the general meeting) at the Theater of Legacy Estates, 7200 Van Dorn. Legacy Estates has two driveways turning north off of Van Dorn–use the west driveway. This photo shows the west driveway, with the east driveway just out of view to the right of the photo:

This photo shows the door to use, which is at the north end of the parking area accessed by the west driveway:

I was there recently at about 7 pm, and there were 21 available parking slots in that area. If you find it full, then go out and turn into the east driveway and park there, and then you can go in the front door of Legacy Estates and take the elevator down to the lower level where you will find the Theater.
