The Shakys meet at Peoples Church in East Lansing, MI starting at 7:00 p.m on Wednesdays. If the weather is good, we will meet outside, bring your own chairs and drinks.
 
If the weather is not good, we will meet in the Robertson Room which is on the main floor of the church (where the sanctuary is) and across the hallway from the restrooms on that floor. As you enter the building from the entrance closest to the parking lot, go up the half flight of stairs and through the doors. The Robertson room will be on the right.
 
The church building closes at 9:30 so if we are meeting indoors, we will have to be out by then. If we are meeting outdoors, then a bathroom in the church will not be available after the building closes.
