MEETING LOCATION

The Sierra Club meets at Greenhill School, located at the NW corner of Midway & Spring Valley in Addison (MAPSCO 14F). Spring Valley is about 1 mile north of LBJ Freeway; Midway is about 1 mile west of the Tollway. Enter the campus by turning west from Midway onto Hornet road, the first light north of Spring Valley. Drive past the soccer fields and park anywhere along the drive. The construction area is an addition to the north side of the Upper School, the building in which we meet. Walk along the west side of the construction area to enter the Upper School. If you arrive after the meeting starts, we'll be in the lecture hall behind the double wood doors at the end of the lobby. Directions to the school are on its website.

The meeting starts at 7:00. From 6:30 to 7:00 you can wander among various issue booths to pick up information and talk with Sierra Club members.
