Note that the location is NOT the Adventist Church in downtown Takoma Park. It is the one-story building on the Southeast corner of Laurel and Eastern. There is ample parking behind the building -- enter from Second St. NW. The gate will be open. Anyone with difficulty using stairs should be sure to enter the building via the parking lot entrance. Enter at the ground level where there are two double doors. Need a ride? Call the Village at 301-646-2109 one week in advance (members only).
