What to Bring:
Mats and cushions are provided, but may be in limited supply, especially if the event is well attended. For greater comfort and flexibility around our limited supply and just in case we run out, please bring a nice zabuton and cushion. Other than that, just bring yourself!
Parking:
Free parking is available on the south side of, and also behind, the church on the weekends! Just make sure you park in spaces designated for Northwestern University, where there will be signage that speaks specifically to patrons of Northwestern University. This is in contrast to other signage in the area that speaks to the neighboring fraternity house (where parking is reserved for the fraternity house).
*Parkes Hall is on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, located along Sheridan Road, at the south-east corner of Sheridan Road and Chicago Avenue, just south of the Alice Millar Chapel. Note: The doors on the chapel side on Sheridan Road may not be open when there is a church-related event. Should this be the case, please use the doors off of Chicago Avenue (the south entrance in the photo above), or also on the east side of the building.
