Next pen club meeting - and news – San francisco pen show

The next Pan Pacific Pen Club meeting

will be

March 15, 11:00 a.m.

At

Pacifica Community Center

540 Crespi Drive

Pacifica, CA 94044

Phone: 650-738-7376

No speaker scheduled yet, but if you have a suggestion please send if along.

This would be a good time to show off those incredible finds from the L. A. Pen show a few weeks earlier.

Thanks to Bruce for arranging the rental and getting the club the lower resident rental rate.

Please note – our contract with Pacifica has an unusual restriction: NO DANCING (really!). Your attention to this would be greatly appreciated by the club officers.

Also no liquor, so please leave that quart bottle of Noodler’s Bourbon Brown ink at home.

The center is located here:

According to one of Pacifica’s resident pen experts (OK - maybe the only pen expert in Pacifica) the following directions are recommended:

=====
Best route depends on where people come from, but 92 is probably not the best, at least not through Half Moon Bay.

From north, or northeast (e.g. Bekeley)... through SF to 280S to 1.

From southeast (e.g Fremont), over the Dumbarton or San Mateo bridge to 280 North.

From south peninsula... 280 north to 35 (just north of Millbrae) and left on Sharp Park Road, or 280N to 1 south, which is a bit longer but simpler. I think the crowd will be GPS savvy enough to do it.

From Hawaii, by canoe.

Best regards,
Bruce


Also – parking information from Bruce:
The big parking lot to the right of the building (between the building and the highway) is now a pay lot. But fear not... there is a Community Center only parking lot with about 50 spaces that we should use. On your announcement, you'll need to point out that people should turn into the driveway on the LEFT side of the building to get to the lot in the back. It's not obvious. Also, there is free street parking in front of the building.
