We will meet at the Visitor Center at Mordecai Historic Park, 1101 Wake Forest Road, at the corner of Wake Forest Road and Cedar Street. This is a little north and east of downtown Raleigh. There is on-street parking in the neighborhood surrounding the Visitor Center and Mordecai House, which is next door at 1 Mimosa Street. Also, if there is no funeral, the lot at Bryan Lee Funeral Home, at 831 Wake Forest Road is available. They are friendly neighbors.

We will assemble in the conference room at the Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is a short walk from the parking area which lines Mimosa Street.  There are restrooms, a small catering kitchen (no oven), and a nice exhibit about the Mordecai family in the Visitor Center. There is also a built-in projector for computer presentations.
There will be a staff member present to help us with arrangements.
