For anyone interested in making the trip to E.M.U. to hear Rodriguez,
Gonzales,
and LaDuke...among other activities.....
Friday's keynote speeches begin at 4:00 p.m. in the McKenny Union Building
which is on Eastern Michigan Union's campus.
**********************************************************
Take I-75/23 to Washtenaw Avenue
Washtenaw Avenue runs east and west between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti
If you are coming from areas north of Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor please remember to
stay on I-75 and don't follow 23 into Ann Arbor...this would take you away
from Ypsilanti into the west side of A2.
In getting to Washtenaw Avenue you should turn east towards Ypsilanti
In Ypsilanti there is a huge water tower and right before you get to the
water
tower you will find the corner of Washtenaw and Oakwood
You will notice this water tower because it resembles a particular
part of the male anatomy. The water tower is famous all over the
United States.
You will turn left on Oakwood and make a right at the first street
You will follow this street to the pay-parking lot
Go to the back of the lot and you will be at the McKenny Union Building which
is where the activities for this conference are to take place.
Going into the building you will find an Information Office and persons there
will answer questions about directions to the rooms.
