February General Meeting

Monday, February 19th (President's Day)

Location: Saddleback Hospital Basement -- Conference room 1

7:00 p.m.

Speaker: Susan Peterson, author of "Fun and Educational Places to Go With Kids and Adults in Southern California"

Susan Peterson is the author of a great book called, "Fun and Educational Places to go With Kids and Adults in Southern California" which is a comprehensive guidebook for Southern California. (The 7th edition just came out April 2006.) For the last 12 years, Susan has spoken to various groups throughout the Southland about the importance of field trips and outings, how to make them manageable, how to make the most of your time together during and after, and exactly where to go. She has been on radio and television, and written columns for the L.A. Times and Parenting magazines discussing the same information.

Directions to Hospital: From the 5 Freeway, exit El Toro and go west. Turn left on Paseo de Valencia. At Health Center/Via Estrada turn left. Make an immediate left into the Saddleback Medical Center Parking lot.

Although the entrance you should use is on your right, near the flagpoles, you will most likely find parking available to the left (Visitor Parking). The hospital entrance is to the right of the emergence entrance. Once inside, proceed straight down the hallway and then turn right to find the elevators. We will be located downstairs on the lower/basement level in Conference Room #1.
