Dear West Siders,

The address is 1630 Stewart Lane, Laurel Hollow. Please park at the West Side School parking lot or on the other side of 1630 Stewart Lane, if there is parking available. Please do not park on both sides of Stewart Lane and do not block any driveways. Dress warmly because the party will be held outside.
We hope to celebrate with you all at the party!
Warmest Regards,
Ana
