January 2010 Fast Facts

January Task Force

Parking will be in the Cathedral Square parking garage (not the surface lot adjacent to KC Southern). The garage is located between 12th & 13th streets at Broadway and Washington.

The garage can be entered off 13th Street or Washington. When you enter the garage, you will take a ticket. Vouchers will be distributed during task force so you can exit the garage without paying. Please contact Marcia Bolton or Jim Brown if you have further questions about the parking. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, where we start the day, is one block north of the garage. Just look for the gold dome.

Business casual is appropriate attire. Remember that we will be visiting religious institutions, so please dress appropriately (no denim please).
