ÒStuff the FoldersÓ party
|
Saturday March 15, 10:00am-12:30pm
|
Home of Jim (trumpet) & Debbie Luckinbill, 227 Sacramento Street, Nevada City
(very near Pioneer Park), phone 530-265-4655. This front door access has 5 stairs.
There is some parking above the house on
Prospect Street, down from our 3-car garage and around the corner to the
right. This back-side
access has stairs, but Jim will be running a platform lift elevator that
bypasses all stairs.
Go down to the end of
Prospect Street, and turn right onto Clay Street. There should be lots of parking on
both sides of the street. ItÕs
just a little steep, so curb your wheels. I will park my yellow Jeep
to mark the back-side access.
Jim checked about the bank parking lot, but canÕt tell if
the businesses will be open on Saturday, so itÕs best not to chance it.
|
– bring a folding table (not needed any more)
– drop in any
time to help
– pick up your
stuffed folder too!
Lunch provided by our hosts! Many
thanks to the Luckinbills for serving hot dogs
and beans to our folder stuffing volunteers.
