We are enjoying the generous support this year of Varian NMR Instruments, Bruker
Instruments, and MR Resources.
Directions are attached below.
***
It is important that we receive an accurate head-count to provide lunch
properly. Please RSVP to pwheeler_at_isisph.com if you plan to attend. There is
no cost for attendance, but there will be a small charge for parking. Questions
may be addressed to myself (pwheeler_at_isisph.com), or Paul Shin
(alchemy_at_oxy.edu), or Jane Strouse (strousej_at_chem.ucla.edu).

I look forward to seeing you there.

Directions:
>From the EAST on the I-10, take the 405 N. Then follow the directions for
coming from the south below:
>From the SOUTH, make sure you end up on the 405 N. Then take the Wilshire
Blvd. E exit. Proceed east on Wilshire Blvd. to Westwood Blvd. (I believe
this will be the 4th stoplight.) Turn left on Westwood Blvd. After about
3 stoplights, you will obviously be entering the UCLA campus (after LeConte
Ave.). Just past the next stoplight, there is a parking kiosk in the
center divider. Even though it is a Saturday, you will have to pay for
parking, $5 the last I knew for sure. Be sure to tell them that you want
to park in Lot 2. After the parking kiosk, proceed to the next stoplight
and turn right. This will be Charles E. Young Drive (the former Circle
Dr., if you are familiar with the campus). At the 3rd stop sign, you will
see the Molecular Science Building on your left and Lot 2 will be just
through the intersection (Manning Ave.) on your right. We will be meeting
in Room 3440 Molecular Sciences. It's easiest to find the room if you come
up the circular stairwell that is visible from the intersection mentioned
above. Morning coffee,etc. will be there, too.
>From the NORTH, make sure you end up on the 405 S. Take the Wilshire Blvd.
E exit and proceed as above.
>From the WEST, (there isn't much to the west before you hit the ocean) just
come on Wilshire Blvd., etc.
