Thich Hang Dat's Friday Evening Mediation Group: (from Terri Bennett)

411 Hubbards Lane off of Westport Road.  It used to be an old Kingdom Hall and looks like a ranch house.  Parking is in the back and meditation begins at 6:30 PM.  We are done around 8 PM after 30 minutes of seated (on a chair) meditation followed by 15 minutes of walking meditation. 

Before we leave, Tiche Hang Dat (not sure about the spelling of his name though) explains another bit about meditating.

There are resources available if you know where to look or know the key words to search online. And of course there is word of mouth…Now all we need is a way to pull this together. One place to list it all.
