Here are the directions in plain text:
From Main St, head EAST on Loma Vista
First traffic light is Brent, 2nd light is HILLMONT. Turn LEFT onto Hillmont
Turn RIGHT at the first driveway on your right
Continue straight after the stop sign. You’re approaching the front of the Medical Center - Continue left in front of the Medical Center. (Don’t go into their front entrance drive)Turn right into the first driveway, then an immediate right again, into the Parking area. Park anywhere marked for Visitors.
Head over to Med Ctr building, through double glass doors (with a blue “stripe” thing over the doors).
Enter the double doors, and walk straight down the hallway.
After about 50 feet, turn right, down a hallway (Glass at the end of it).
Walk towards the glass, and you’ll see the elevator and the stairs that go down to the Cafeteria.
Once you are downstairs, head towards the Cafeteria, through those double glass doors.
Inside the Cafeteria, make an immediate left, into the opaque, etched glass doors. That is the meeting room!

I’ve received an e-mail asking for support for the meetings Tuesday at 6:15 and Thursday at 12:30 in Ojai.
There are many newcomers in these meetings, who need experience strength and hope from those who’ve been walking the road for a while.
“Our primary purpose is to carry the message.”
Thanks!

The Sunday night Santa Barbara meeting has moved, effective immediately, to the Unity Church, 227 E. Arrellaga Street, in the Bride’s Room. The new meeting time is 6:00-7:00 p.m.
We need to park in the church lot on Valerio Street (corner of Valerio and Santa Barbara streets). We can also park on the street. The church has asked that we NOT park in their Arrellaga Street lot.
To get to the Bride’s Room, go through the Chapel doors and turn right. Walk up the stairs to the Bride’s Room. Signs will be posted.
The meeting is still a Big Book Study.
The meeting needs a small suitcase with wheels to transport the Big Books and meeting materials. If anyone has one, they can call Peggy at 563-4711. Thanks!
