The Hashinger parking lot (next to Irvine Hall) is NO LONGER available for parking during the monthly OCA meetings and a parking permit WILL BE REQUIRED to park in the parking structures designated for our use. Click in the article title for additional information. FREE Permits are NOT available anymore.
As a reminder – the September general meeting had to be moved to the first Friday of September, 9/5/08. As usual, the formal part of the meeting starts at 7:30, but come early to get a good seat, check out the library, meet up with other members, and get the evening off to a good start! We meet in the Irvine Auditorium in the Hashinger Science Building at Chapman University, which is near Center St. a couple buildings north of Palm in Orange.
See you there!
