Dear Friends: You and yours are cordially invited to attend a housewarming party at our new home, at 9 Mary Street in Georgetown. Actually, the house has been ours for three months now, but we decided that if we kept trying to make it perfect, we could put off things indefinitely. The party will take place during the afternoon and evening of 21 January (that's Saturday). It's a potluck affair -- please bring some food suitable for eating from paper plates while standing up, and we'll trust the laws of probability to provide us with balanced meals. Show up any time after 3:00 pm -- supper will be around 6:30 or so. Please let us know if you're coming for sure, and what you're bringing (once you decide), so that we can lay in supplies. We'll have a couple of cases of beer on hand, but if your tastes run to more exotic beverages, you may wish to supplement that. If you have room in your car, or need a ride, we will attempt to act as co-ordinators. Directions follow. Looking forward to seeing you -- Prabhakar and Naomi (416)873-4924 (416)978-7321 (Naomi at work) (519)888-4660 (Prabhakar at work) By car: take the 401 westbound to the Trafalgar Road exit (before Highway 25, past Winston Churchill Drive). Take Trafalgar Road north into Georgetown. Ignore the sign that tells you to turn right, and keep going straight until the road ends at Highway 7. Turn right on Highway 7 and curve back into Georgetown. You'll go over a railway bridge and come down a hill; the road will fork, one branch going left and one straight into downtown. Do neither: stay in the right lane, and just BEFORE the fork, make a right turn on Henry St. Then take the next right onto Cleaveholm, and the next left onto Mary. We're half a block up, on the left. By bus: take the subway to Yorkdale and catch a GO bus. There are buses at 2:55, 3:25 (with a change in Brampton), and 5:55. A ticket will cost $4.90 each way. The bus stops in downtown Georgetown, which is only two blocks long, and the only thing that looks even remotely like a downtown. Get off and walk north (that's uphill) along Main St.; Highway 7 will merge into it in a couple of blocks, it becomes Guelph St., and just after that you will see Henry St. on the left. Turn left, and then follow the car directions. Buses return to Toronto at 5:00, 6:00, and 9:00.
