How do I find Room LC 181?

Look for signs pointing the way - they'll have Dialogue Workshop on them. Also, as you enter the building, you can ask security personnel for directions. For those who prefer not to ask directions, look for the Lancaster Center. Room LC 181 is in the Youth Center which is northwest of Lancaster Center - you will walk though a hallway with windows to your right and the Lancaster Center to your left. As you finally emerge from that hallway you will be in the Youth Center.

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

You can send an email to info@sustainablepeace.org or leave a message at 713-240-5949, someone will call you back.
