 Current News:

Our meeting location is the Hoover Public Safety Center, inside the American Red Cross offices, on Valleydale Road near Highway 31 in Hoover. It is the old BellSouth warehouse, biggest building in the area so it's hard to miss. Enter through the right hand set of doors, then go to the left. Be sure to tune in to 146.980 for a dinner location and exact directions to the area we'll be meeting in.
