(courtesy of Brenda Peters) ****MEETING TO BE HELD AT THE HOME OF DOUG PLATT AND GRACE KIRKWOOD**** DIRECTIONS: Assuming you are heading West on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, take Exit 25 (Norristown). Continue straight past the Toll Booth to Plymouth Road where you will take a Left. (If you were not heading West on the PA Trnpk., please ask the Toll Booth person how to get to Plymouth Rd. or the Plymouth Meeting Mall.) Having taken a Left at Plymouth Rd., proceed to the first traffic light and take a Right on Germantown Pike (you will be heading west). Begin to count the stop lights. As an indicator that you are going in the correct direction, you will soon pass the Plymouth Meeting Mall on your Right. A few more lights and you will pass Rt. 202. You are very close, now. Eleven lights after your initial turn onto Germantown Pike you will arrive at Swede Road. Turn Left. The first house on the Left is 2838 and has a pink sign in front that says "IT'S YOUR PARTY". You will have been on Germantown Pike for about three miles. Doug's number if you need help is (215)277-4264. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1037
