According to reports, enrollment for the Women’s Retreat in August is not sufficient so far to sustain the event. It might have to be canceled. If you’ve been thinking about going but have not yet enrolled, now is the time.
Please note that JoAnna, whose name and phone appear on the flyer, is no longer a contact person for the retreat.

Head over to Med Ctr building, through double glass doors (with a blue “stripe” thing over the doors).
Enter the double doors, and walk straight down the hallway.
After about 50 feet, turn right, down a hallway (Glass at the end of it).
Walk towards the glass, and you’ll see the elevator and the stairs that go down to the Cafeteria.
Once you are downstairs, head towards the Cafeteria, through those double glass doors.
Inside the Cafeteria, make an immediate left, into the opaque, etched glass doors. That is the meeting room!

The Sunday night Santa Barbara meeting has moved, effective immediately, to the Unity Church, 227 E. Arrellaga Street, in the Bride’s Room. The new meeting time is 6:00-7:00 p.m.
We need to park in the church lot on Valerio Street (corner of Valerio and Santa Barbara streets). We can also park on the street. The church has asked that we NOT park in their Arrellaga Street lot.
To get to the Bride’s Room, go through the Chapel doors and turn right. Walk up the stairs to the Bride’s Room. Signs will be posted.
The meeting is still a Big Book Study.
The meeting needs a small suitcase with wheels to transport the Big Books and meeting materials. If anyone has one, they can call Peggy at 563-4711. Thanks!
