Parking there can be an issue so we have permission to use the Goddard School parking which is across the street and as well we will have valet parking from the front entrance to Holbrook.

Assuming the weather is good, the party will be in the courtyard. If there is inclement weather or probably the threat of inclement weather then we would be on the 5th floor ... if there is any question the front desk will know where to send you.

There will be light hor d'oeuvres and beer, wine, lemonade, water and tea.

We hope that you can make it!
