	DIRECTIONS TO MEETING LOCATION (remember you must be pre-registered to attend): The Bank of New York is technically at 101 Barclay, but that street is closed for construction. The entrance for visitors is on the East (Greenwich) side of the BONY building, between Murray Street on the North, and Barclay on the South. Getting there by subway: The Chambers Street (A line) and Park Place (2 and 3 lines) stops are the closest--only about 2 blocks from the building. Or you can take the 4,5 or 6 to the City Hall/ Brooklyn Bridge stop and walk west along Park Place or Murray Street after you go through City Hall Park. It takes a bit longer this way, about 10-15 minutes. Following is a map of the meeting location at the Bank of New York at 101 Barclay (entrance on Greenwich Street between Murray Street and Barclay):
