LA Fox Has a New
Meeting Place
LA Fox has a new meeting place...and a new meeting time ...beginning in July - NCR at 7:30 PM. The address at NCR is:
100 N. Sepulveda Blvd., El Segundo, CA. (Meetings will continue to be held on the 3rd Monday of each month, but they will be at NCR at 7:30 PM.)

It’s on the NE corner of Sepulveda Blvd. and El Segundo Blvd. Enter parking on the West side of the building complex (there are about 3 tall buildings there, one parking entrance for all in the middle of the block). You need to be going North on Sepulveda to enter the parking structure so for those of you coming from the 405 freeway, the El Segundo exit would work well. I suspect U turns are legal at the intersection of Sepulveda Blvd. and El Segundo but I don’t know for sure. Take a ticket when you enter the parking structure. The gates will be opened after 8:00pm so you won’t need to pay for parking unless you leave REALLY early. The front doors to the building DO get locked in the evenings.

Bldq.#1 - Upon entering the parking garage, make an immediate right and go all the way to the end (until you see the bank of elevators for Bldg.#1). Park your car and take the elevator to the main plaza level. From the main plaza, look for the walkway that goes to Bldg.#1 (The door is on the northeast side of the building.). Once in the building, proceed toward elevators by the guard station. Turn left at the guard station. Proceed to the last door on the left to get to the conference room where we’ll be meeting.

Nearby : There is a Starbucks a couple blocks North of NCR by the Ralph’s grocery store. There are many fast food restaurants in the area as well as many regular restaurants. The Manhattan Village mall is South of NCR on the SE corner of Rosecrans Blvd. and Sepulveda (go South from NCR along the Chevron refinery and then you cross Rosecrans). In one of the buildings in the parking area of the mall is my favorite summer treat:
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s ice blended mocha!!!

We’re all very excited about the new location. Hope to see you all there I!!
