SUMMARY:Board Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Will be in the Community Room at the Woodland Condos.\, which is at 31 Woodland Street\, Hartford.  People can park on the street but there  is a small guest parking lot in the front of the building. There  is a large parking lot behind the building which is accessed by a driveway on the north side of the building. Whoever parks behind the building would need to walk to the front of the building to register with the security guard at the front desk. The Community Room is on the M level below the first floor. There are elevators. \nI suggest that people carpool and let their passengers off at the front door before parking.
