SWS monthly meetings will return to Lovers Lane United Methodist Church. For the past year at Fretz Recreation Center, we endured Mexican folk music from the adjoining room, waiting in the hallway for the end of Karate class, and short setup time by early-arriving members.

This year we’ll be meeting on the first floor of the same building at LLUMC, in room C103-105. It’s about the same size as the room we had two years ago, but being on the first floor is a big plus.

The Church is located on the northeast corner of Northwest Highway and Inwood Road. Use the Inwood Road entrance and park in the same area, in the northwest corner of the church campus. Enter the north doors of the Family Center, and take an immediate right, past the elevator, to the end of the hall. That will be the SWS meeting . . . on the second Wednesday of each month at 7 PM.
