After a breakfast at our hotel, Dharmadas, Jaya, Dhyana, Ruby, Suzanne and I went to see the venues for this weekend. Our first stop was at K.C. College auditorium, which was only a few minutes away from our hotel. You see the front of the College building in the first picture. We looked at the facility and planned where to setup the registration table, book tables, etc. From there we headed over to the Indian Red Cross building next to the Asiatic Society Central Library (see second picture), which was another 10 minutes drive from K.C. College. We did the same type of planning there. We had the challenge of where to store the books Friday night until Saturday morning since we had to go to a different venue on Saturday. Luckily, I was able to arrange storage at the second venue thanks to a nice gentleman at the Indian Red Cross who collected the security deposit from me. I also became friends with the guard, which is one of the most important persons you need to know in order to get things done. If you know the guard, you can get to anywhere in the building, even if it is locked. This becomes important because often times we need access to other parts of the building to hang banners, etc. The third picture shows the entrance to the parking lot of the Indian Red Cross. The Saturday/Sunday lectures were to be held at the Taleyarkhan Memorial Hall.
We spent the daytime Friday doing further preparations for the lectures, mainly data entry, copies, paper folding and envelope stuffing.
