This meeting is held at 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 and when you come into the lobby of the hospital the person at the Reception will open the doors for you.

Our West Ashley meeting is the 3rd Friday of the month (August 19th) at 10:15 a.m. at John Wesley United Methodist Church on US 17. This is in West Ashley. When you come into the church, just walk on past the front office and through the glass doors and we are in the room near the gym.
