New Meeting Location for CMS in 2009

The Colorado Mycological Society has a new meeting location for 2009! At the end of the 2008 season the Denver Botanic Gardens notified CMS, and other plant societies, that we would not be able to meet there in 2009 because of the extensive construction work being carried out at the Gardens. CMS therefore appointed a committee to come up with a new meeting location.

In 2009 the Colorado Mycological Society will be meeting in the Asbury Event Center at 3011 Vallejo Street in historic North Denver (map). The Asbury Event Center is in the old Asbury Methodist Church (built in 1890) complex which is today privately owned and no longer functioning as a church.

We are quite excited about the new meeting location. The main meeting room is large and will comfortably accommodate our members. There are also adjoining rooms where we can hold Board meetings and conduct classes. And a very big plus for us: CMS will have use of a kitchen adjoining the main meeting room. There is also off street parking in a lot across the street from the Center.

Directions: To reach the Asbury Event Center from east of I-25 take Speer Blvd. north. After crossing I-25 turn right on Zuni Street. Proceed north to 30th Street. Turn right and go two blocks to Vallejo Street. Asbury Event center is on the northwest corner of 30th and Vallejo.

We look forward to seeing you in our new location of the Colorado Mycological Society.
