Parking for 2023 Meetings -
1. Parking Garage at the end of Clifton Court (our usual road). It costs $7.  Credit Card only.


2. Parking on Clifton Ave. There are about 8 spaces on Clifton Ave
between Clifton Court and Martin Luther King. These spaces are oddly
placed between the moving traffic and the bike lane next to the curb.
Free since Meters stop at 6pm.


3. Parking on Martin Luther King. From the intersection of Clifton and
MLK, drive east on MLK (as short a distance as possible) and park on
MLK. Free- There are meters but they do not charge after 6pm. The level
walk from here to Braunstein (MLK to Clifton Ave to Clifton Court) is
about 5 minutes, or 0.2 miles.

Entering Braunstein- is not obvious- The former sidewalk is gone.
Instead from Clifton Court drive (our usual road) at the new blinking
stop sign, walk up the driveway to Braunstein towards the old loading
dock (which is sealed off). As you get close to the building, you will
see the familiar sidewalk to your right. Follow the sidewalk to the
usual door on the west side of the building. Enter the building and go
up one flight.

Handicap access- The geology /physics building has a road-wide tunnel
through it, which is visible from Clifton Court. Enter the building's
door (floor 2) and walk through the building (going opposite the ADA
signs), until you are in Braunstein (now floor 1). Find the elevator on
this hallway and go up one floor.

The meeting are held in Room 201, on the second Floor of Braunstein Hall (formerly known as the Physics Building). 

If you park on College Ct., Braunstein Hall is the building immediately on the right. 

Note: The outside doors to Braunstein Hall automatically lock at 8 pm, which is our meeting start time. We will make every effort to have someone at the outside door to let in late arrivers or the door will be kept ajar.  

The beginners classes are most often held on the third floor, one floor above the general meeting room. See the bulletin for the specific room number for each beginner's class.

Parking Passes:
Parking passes will not be available this year. The parking garage is pay-by-credit-card upon exit.

Meetings are usually held on the fourth Friday of Jan, Feb, March, April, May, Sept, Oct and Nov.. The November meeting is often held a week earlier to avoid Thanksgiving weekend.  We have a holiday dinner with the Cincinnati Mineral Society that includes a feature speaker. We sometimes meet with the Kentucky Paleo Society in June or July for a picnic meeting which includes a field trip.
