Meeting 30 of the Research Triangle Park Bogleheads® has been scheduled for 12 noon Saturday August 25, 2018 at Duke University's Social Sciences Building's Room 111. Our gracious host is Professor Ed Tower from the Economics Department. Here are Ed's logistical instructions:
You can park at the Duke Circle Parking Deck off Trent Drive. Just take exit 15A (Elba Street/Trent Drive) exit from the Durham freeway, Route 147. Then walk through the hospital to the Social Science building. The SS bldg. is next to the Allen Building and close to the Duke Chapel and across the Green from the Perkins library. Alternatively you could park at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens parking lot and walk through the gardens to the SS building. Or you could park at the Bryan center parking garage. We will be sure to have someone at the door of the SS building to let you in from 11:30 to 12:00 in the event the door is locked. I suspect the building will not be locked, and even if it is, there will be lots of folks who you can ask to let you in with their card.
I also observed a Duke University maps site at http://maps.duke.edu/map/?id=21. From there you can type "Social" into the search box near the upper-left, click the Search button, then click on the "Social Sciences Building" search result, then zoom in a little and pan to the right in the resulting Google map. That will give you a visual idea of where the Social Science building sits in relation to the other buildings on the campus.
Please let me know if you expect to join us so we can plan accordingly. Hope to see you there!

Also FYI I set up a Master Thread for RTP, North Carolina Bogleheads Chapter forum topic that you may wish to subscribe to... I'll try to remember to post a reminder of future RTP Bogleheads meetings to that topic.
Finally for those local 'heads not already on the list, I set up a Yahoo "rtpbogleheads" email list for our local chapter. Please consider joining the list to help our chapter communications (see below for joining details). From the group's description:
rtpbogleheads Yahoo Group Addresses are:Welcome to the yahoo group of the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Area Bogleheads Chapter. The Bogleheads are an investing and personal finance interest group inspired by the example of Jack Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard mutual fund company.
This list is primarily to foster easy communications among our local chapter members, in particular regarding reminders and logistics on upcoming meetings which we hope to hold approximately quarterly. All are encouraged to continue use the national forum (bogleheads.org) for most postings.
Please stick to the spirit of the national chapter's forum policies and etiquette: basically, keep to investing topics and stay away from politics. Further details on posting etiquette can be found here: http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=405
Initially this list will be configured to allow through all member postings in an un-moderated fashion, though adjustments may be made later as deemed appropriate by the list manager.
If you're interested to know of other local Boglehead chapters, please see the Google Map maintained by Mel Lindauer at http://www.lostsprings.com/diehards/chapters/
Thank you!
