Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, January 20th at the Tara Thai Restaurant in Greensboro. Dinner, which is optional, will be at 6 PM. The meeting will start at 7 PM and end around 8 PM. The restaurant is located in a shopping center behind a Pizza Hut on Guilford College Road. It is hard to see from the road so look for the Pizza Hut.

Look for a Pizza Hut on your right. The street just before the Pizza Hut is Tomahawk Drive. Turn right onto Tomahawk and immediately turn left into a shopping center parking lot. The restaurant is near the right end of the shopping center. If you reach Friendly Avenue, you have gone too far. Turn around and follow the directions below.
