Notice about the location of the October 19 meeting of the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council:

Our October 19 meeting will be held in Conference Room 1, Community Services Building, 330 25th Street.  This notice accompanies the meeting Agenda.  Conference Room 1 served as our meeting space for at least 10 years.  However, the room was needed by other groups which resulted in RNCC’s move to the meeting room in the basement of 440 Civic Center Plaza.  There was significant dissatisfaction with the basement room so earlier this year when Rochelle found we might use City Council Chambers, we moved there.  The October 19 meeting will take place in a room some of us know well but we are unsure where we will meet in November.  Stay tuned.

For those unfamiliar with the Community Services Building (CSB), it adjoins the Senior Center on Macdonald Avenue.  The CSB is located directly behind the Richmond Public Library.  The main entrance to the CSB faces 25th Street but we cannot use that entrance.  Instead, we will enter through doors at the rear of the building, facing the Library.  Conference Room 1 is through the open door to your right as you enter.  The door to your left connects to the Senior Center.  It is locked as are all of the other doors in this building.

Parking is available both in the lot on the 25th Street side of the building and in the lot on the Nevin Avenue side of the building.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Don Woodrow, President,   Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council
