Yes, that is correct. It is scheduled for the Memorial Day holiday. There are lots of changes taking place, but nothing that we can't handle. Please use the "On-line Sign-Up" link on the left to sign up for the 2009 Marathon operation.




Thanks to Tracy (KG6VCK), we have found a location for the first briefing for the 2009 Los Angeles Marathon.

Meeting #2 will be at CANNDU Community Center
7600 Avalon Blvd., Los Angeles, 90001

The Denny's is located on the SW corner of Jefferson and Overland, just east of Jun's and the 405/90 Interchange. When you do arrive at Denny's, please say "Thanks!" to Katherine (the manager) for allowing our group to meet there with very little advanced notice. We will be starting the meeting at 7:30 p.m. to allow for travel time. The later start will also allow folks to have dinner there. You may arrive a little earlier (around 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.) and enjoy a great meal without being rushed. (So, please support Katherine and the staff at Denny's and enjoy a night out without having to cooking or wash the dishes.)

The Community Center can be reached by taking the 110 Harbor Freeway to the Florence Avenue exit. Go east on Florence for about two miles until you reach Avalon Blvd. Turn right on Avalon (southbound) until you reach the first traffic light. The center is on your left (east side of the street). There are two parking lots. One lot is just south of the center (very small) and another parking lot that you can reach by driving through the gate. There is also plenty of street parking on Avalon Blvd. The CANNDU Group (Community and Neighbors for Ninth District Unity) will also be serving a continental breakfast for the volunteers (you may show up as early as 9:00 a.m.) Thanks to Horace Penman (KI6AMG) and the CANNDU group for their generous hospitality. Also, don't forget to say, "Thanks!"
