You should be aware that the parking situation at Villa Marin is about to change Aug 1st. The building at the top of the hill shares the road and they are going to take all the parking on the right side of the road going up,and Villa Marin gets the parking on the right side of the road going down. Parking in the driveway will be limited to 2 hours. Villa Marin will continue to have the few spaces at the top of the hill at the turnaround in front of their building. That all means that the caregivers, employees and guests will be after those spaces. . .. and early birds get the worms.

Find Villa Marin to be convenient for me rather than driving further up to Hamilton. Certainly the facilities at Hamilton are nice. However I don't have a laptop so those assets aren't vital to me. Info on the screen has been nice to complement the oral commentary. So a toss up with pro's and con's. Generally a monthly meeting is fine except for December which should be a holiday. I can get to both weekend (except ski season) and mid week meetings so toss up there too.
