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 immedi-
ate 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!!
