| Could directions to the meeting site be posted here?
(Say, from Nashua, Boston, and Marlboro, or some such set of origins.)
Thanks,

After the <FF> is a note w/ directions to Maynard (edited to remove
directions to PKO).
Once you are driving along Powdermill Rd in Maynard (it's labeled Rt 62
to the north and Rt 27 to the south of the intersection), turn east
(toward Boston) onto Waltham St at the Getty Gas Station. Continue for
0.5 mi, passing Mei Ling restaurant on your right, and on your left:
Winthrop Av, Waldon, Av, Wood Lane, 1st St, 2nd St, & 3rd St. Shortly
after 3rd St, there is a small road marked by a small orange sign about
20' off the ground on a telephone-like pole. Turn down this road, the
Old Mill Rd. About a minute further the road ends and you will come to
the Rod & Gun Club with a parking lot straight ahead and the club house
to the right.
You can also approach the Old Mill Rd by heading west on Rt 117 and
turning right onto Waltham St at the fork with a modern church.
If I remember rightly, the meeting room is L-shaped and holds several
hundred people; I don't think there is a stage or sound system.
Scheduling the meeting for 3PM, isn't convenient for working people.
Perhaps it should be held in the evening like the special meeting was.

To: PKO
From: Canada, Maine, LOGAN, Lowell, New York
Updated: 17-MARCH-1988
These directions are an amalgam of various other notes (10.1, 27, 16, 30, etc)
and my own experience. They have not been drive-tested though I have
personally driven all of these routes at least once.
Fortunately Maynard has reconstructed its downtown area. There is now a one
way loop downtown and a new traffic light at the confusing snarl we used to
have (where merely 4 roads met but it was more bizarre than you can imagine:
only in Massachusetts).
From Maine/Canada/I-95/New Hampshire/Route 3:
1 Take I-95 or NH Route 3 south to Massachusetts. Rt3 is a cheap toll road.
2 Continue with step 1 under Westford/Lowell...
From Westford or Lowell areas:
1 Take I-495 south.
2 Take route 2 east toward Boston.
3 Take route 27 south (right at end of ramp) toward Maynard off route 2
(approx 5 miles).
4 Maynard is approximately 5 more miles.
From the Massachusetts turnpike (New York/Conn):
1 Stay on the Turnpike to route 495.
2 Take 495 north.
3 You want exit 27, route 117
4 At the bottom of the ramp, turn left onto 117 heading east.
5 You will go several miles through Bolton and Stow. You will pass
the Stow facility (blink and you will miss the sign). Keep going
straight through on 117 when you get in Maynard. (If you turn left
at the light at the fork you head into the Mill and downtown).
6 At the intersection of route 27 is a light. Turn right.
From the airport, LOGAN:
1 Take a limo (a van) to Maynard. It costs about US$30. They know the
quick ways out of the city.
2 Take the DEC helicopter (make reservations in advance, no cost to CC
unless you cancel)
3 Drive yourself crazy: Your rental car agency will have maps.
4 Your agency can get you to the Summer-Callahan tunnels, but sometimes
traffic is diverted. In case of diversion towards East Boston or
Chelsea, get off at the first exit and take the U-turnaround at the
bottom of the ramp to head back towards the tunnels. They do this
nonsense when they need the extra pavement to stack the cars waiting
to enter the tunnel.
5 Go in the direction of Boston, through the tunnel (60�US). Make sure
you get the right hand lane in the tunnel.
6 Out of the tunnel take a right. THERE ARE TWO RIGHTS POSSIBLE, be
sure to take the FIRST right out of the tunnel.
7 Then take a left UNDER the elevated highway, go up the ramp, and
you should be on the expressway going south.
8 A couple of exits further you take the Mass Turnpike WEST
(really no other choice since it starts there). The pike costs
a little (couple US$ in change is fastest).
9 Take RT495 North from the turnpike.
10 Continue with step 3 under NYC/Conn above.

| I see this is getting picked up in 484 - thought I'd put my $.02
here.
There may be little of substance members could do at the Annual Meeting,
but it may be an opportunity to ask questions of the Board and the
President - like the informational sessions Mr Cockburn held last fall.
I am interested in knowing whether three regular monthly meetings of
the Board of one to four hours each were, in fact, held in Bermuda and
at Disneyland, and, if so, whether there was any expense to DCU for
those meetings.
Also, I've seen a Credit Union rating report on DCU that says it
has an unusually high expense-to-income ratio, is a high overhead
operation. I wonder whether that is accurate.
I agree with others that members have some resposibility for the
current situation because we have not been paying attention - attending
the meeting & showing an interest in such things is one of the ways
we can address that.

The 1992 DCU Annual Meeting will take place this Thursday afternoon:
Thursday, 23 April 1992, 3:00 PM
Maynard Rod & Gun Club
Old Mill Rd.
Maynard, MA
Any DCU member is entitled to attend. This is the most important Annual
Meeting of the DCU in its history.
I am hoping that a LOT of DCU members turn up. The 1991 Annual Report
will be released, there will be opportunities to ask the officers of
the DCU questions and most importantly the results of the election will
be announced. Should be a very informative meeting. Get there early.
Let's hope that this time all members are allowed in at the same time.
If you remember at the Special Meeting DCU employees were let in first
and given block seating. Ordinary members that turned up late were
denied entry. Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen again.
