Canton Fight practice

Monday evenings, 6:30-9:30pm -- St. Mary's Church, Memorial Building, Kalamazoo
(Heavy & Fencing)
Directions: 939 Charlotte Avenue, Kalamazoo

From the North, South & West:
Take your best route to US-131 North of 94, take West Main/M43 Exit East, you will go about 5 miles in all, you will go past Westnedge and then M43 becomes Michigan Ave. Go through Downtown Kalamazoo, then keep going past King Highway (watch that you stay on M-43, keep to the left). Just past King Highway, M43 sharply curves to the Left/North and becomes Riverview Dr. and runs under a bridge. About 1/4 up at a red light, M-43 turns Right/East and becomes Gull Rd. Charlotte Ave. is on your Right, about 1/4. You can only turn Right onto Charlotte, (be careful here as 3 streets come together, make sure you turn as far to the right as you can), then look for the church.

From the East - on 94:
Take the Sprinkle Road Exit. Go North on Sprinkle Rd 2 &1/2 miles to Michigan Ave. Turn Left on Michigan Ave. Go 1.5 miles to East Main. Turn Right on East Main. Go one short block to Charlotte. Turn Left on Charlotte, go several blocks to Church (almost to Gull Rd.)

Garb Sewing Nights

6:30-9ish PM on the following evenings:
          November 18 & 25, December 2 &9

     (It is possible that because of theatrical shows at the theatre complex, dates may be cancelled or rescheduled. Please check the calendar below or the Yahoo! email list for these updates.)

Directions: The WMU Costume Shop is located on campus in the Gilmore Theatre Complex, next to Miller Auditorium

You will need to park in visitor parking in the first floor of the Miller Auditorium parking structure. It's metered parking till 8pm, if you get there at 6:30 you'll need $2.00 in quarters. You can also chance it and park in the last three rows of the Gilmore Theatre lot, but Parking Services says they're cracking down on cars without permits, so you may get a parking ticket.

You will need to call up to the shop at 387-5249 so we can come let you in. You will want to come to the loading dock door on the right side of the loading dock. Please email Zaynab (zaynab@chartermi.net) if you have any questions.

Details: There is lots of space for cutting out projects (22ft of cutting tables) and many sewing machines and sergers etc available for use. Please bring your own patterns, fabrics (washed if they need to be pre-washed), thread (we have thread but can make no promises of matching thread) and other notions; also pins if you think you'll need to take something home pinned. There are also vending machines for snack and drinks. If you don't know how to sew and want to learn, Zaynab can teach you.

If possible, please give Zaynab a heads up (via email or the 3 Hills email list) if you can come before each Wednesday evening so she can have an idea of how many will be there or if you'll be there late. This will help us know to be waiting for someone or so Zaynab can go home if no one is coming.
