VASUG will hold it's rescheduled fall meeting next Wednesday, Nov. 5, in
the Dominion Virginia Power Innsbrook auditorium (this is where we have met
for the past year or so).

Our webmaster has a very ill family member and has not been able to update
the website so the agenda and meetings have not been posted and probably
will not be posted.

For driving directions, please go to:

As you approach the Innsbrook office from Broad St., bear to the left at
the fork. I suggest that you use the parking lot to the left of the flag
poles (facing the building) . Use any parking place that is not marked for
some special use (there are a few marked for visitors).  Walk towards the
flag poles and then follow the sidewalk to the building. You should be able
to open the outside door but you will have to buzz the security desk in
order to pass through the interior door. Then proceed to the security desk
and check in. I usually post directional signs pointing to the building
entrance.

If you do not see visitor parking places close to the entrance, you
probably need to go to a different entrance.

Please note that your check-in will go much easier if you send me an email
in the following format:


NAME                     COMPANY                       TELEPHONE NUMBER

Please send me this note before Tuesday if possible.
