Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test. It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable and our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.

Ad hoc, Tuesday, Sept 1: McMenamins Elks Lodge, new Goat Lot Patio
We'll meet to sketch at the newly opened Goat Lot Patio at the
McMenamin's Elks Temple. Since we'll be taking a table at the outdoor
restaurant, please plan to purchase food and or drink.
Meet at 3pm at the Goat Lot Patio entrance, which is to the left of the hotel entrance.
The
"official address" is 565 Broadway, Tacoma, WA 98402. However, the
upper level entrance to the hotel, street parking, and the Goat Lot
Patio is
315 S 7th St, Tacoma, Washington
315 S 7th St, Tacoma, Washington
Plan to allow time to find parking in the area as it could be a challenge since McMenamins has none of its own!
One suggestion is to take the Link Light Rail to the new Old City Hall stop which is right in front of Spanish Steps at McMenamins. Parking is free in the six-story Link garage located next to the Tacoma Dome Station.
