Sunday Forums are now held at the Mountain View Community Center

Our Sunday Forums are now held in the Maple Room at the new Mountain View Community Center in Rengstorff Park, located at 201 S. Rengstorff Avenue, Mountain View (see map here).

DIRECTIONS

Head south (away from the Bay) on Rengstorff Ave. (in Mountain View) from 101 or Central Expressway until you cross the train tracks. Then turn left at the intersection (with a traffic light) that says "Stanford Ave.-->" and "<--Community Center". That puts you into the Community Center's parking lot. In the parking lot, veer to the right, and then turn left, and park alongside the right-hand side of the Community Center. Enter the far left door that is shown in this picture.
