The agenda items for the meeting include:

2. Election of new Al-Awda San Diego officers (including treasurer, secretary, outreach and media coordinators, as well as those of chair and vice chair who will also represent us on Al-Awda's coordinating committees)

4. Other items.

The meeting is open to all Al-Awda San Diego Members.

Directions: If you exit the 5 North freeway at Gilman Dr. and follow it around as it curves through the campus, you'll reach a street called Myers Drive. From Gilman, make a left onto Myers. Meyers becomes an oval-shaped parking lot, where you can park in metered spaces. At the end of the parking lot is a big beige structure - that's the Price Center.

There is also free parking in a large concrete parking structure which you can get to on Gilman past Meyers and turning left at the next intersection (the structure is on the corner).

If you exit the 5 South freeway at La Jolla Village Drive, take a right on Villa La Jolla Drive. At the second light take a left onto Gilman Dr. followed by a right onto Myers Drive. You can park at Meyers in metered spaces and go to the Price Center as described above. Alternatively, the large concrete parking structure would be directly in front at the intersection of Villa La Jolla Drive and Gilman Dr.

For further information on directions, please go to http://maps.ucsd.edu search for "Price Center" and click on either "Visitor" or "simple" in the left hand column to get a traditional map (on which you can zoom in and out).

Parking at UCSD is free on week-ends.
