Sorry to hear that you could not find the location. It's on 65th Street, west of Broadway. You will see a glass enclosed restaurant on the left side. And underneath the restaurant, you will see two glass doors. Go through the glass doors and walk to the back. Then take a left and you will see a security guard. Tell him you are there for the meeting and he will buzz you in. Here is my cell phone number if you have problems - 914-661-0040.
The meetings take place on the second Thursday of the month, so it will be on Sept. 8th. Hope to see you there. - - - - Steve On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 4:48 PM, Laura Franklin <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Stephen**** > > ** ** > > I have a new Joomla website and tried to go to the July meeting**** > > but could not find it!!!
