The CSU Natural Resource Building is located on University Ave., which is accessed from the South bound side of College Ave. The parking lot is on the North side of University between Libbie Coy Way (formerly East Drive) and Amy Van Dyken Way. Parking at CSU is open on weekends. On the Westside of Amy Van Dyken Way is a sidewalk that is south of the Forestry building. Follow the sidewalk to the Northeast corner of the Natural Resources Building where you will see the door to enter the building. This corner of the building also has a large elevator. As in past years, Professor Jerry Magloughlin will post signs providing directions into the building as well as within the building.
For those that would like to get a snack or lunch during the photoshoot the Lory Student Center is just a five minute walk. Professor Magloughlin told me that the student center now has a Freddie's :-).
If you have invited members of the Loveland club to our photoshoot please notify them of this date change. Thank you.
I look forward to seeing you at this outing. Paul Marcoux President
