      There may be a problem in finding the place, as well as finding the entrance, if you are not familiar with downtown Indianapolis .  Please follow these instructions while referring to the map (but not while driving).

     Location: 225 South East Street (not to be confused with Southeastern Avenue ).  The Farm Bureau building is a new, large brick building.  It, and the parking area, occupies the entire block between College on the East, and East Street on the West, with Georgia on the North and Louisiana on the South.  This is inside the I-65 loop.  The streets are quiet, with little traffic on Sundays.

       Directions from the North-West:  Take I 65 South to where it approaches the downtown area, and turns East for a while, then turns South to join West-bound I-70.  Continue South, get in the right lane, and immediately watch for the Fletcher Ave. Exit.  Take the Fletcher Ave. Exit.  * At Fletcher Ave. , turn right on Fletcher, go to the junction of Fletcher Ave., South St. , and College, and turn right onto College which is one way north.  Get into the left lane immediately and turn left at Georgia St .  The Farm Bureau Home Office Building is on your left. Then read the “Entering” instructions below.  If you miss Fletcher, take the next Exit (East St. Exit) then check the map on facing page.

      Directions from the East:  Take I-70 West to Indy.  When the road turns South (where the speed limit is reduced to 45 miles per hour) get in the right lane and be prepared to exit at the Fletcher Ave. Exit.  At Fletcher Ave. , continue by following the instructions, starting with the bold underlined words, At Fletcher Ave. ” (with the asterisk) in the third line of the paragraph above.  If you miss Fletcher, take the next Exit (East St. Exit) then check the map on facing page.

      Directions from the South-East: Take I-65 North to Indy.  As you near the downtown area, prepare to  follow I-70 West (“to St Louis ”) get in the right lane and be prepared to exit right at the first exit.  Follow the  street North until you come to South Street .  Turn right (East) and go to College.  Turn left on College (one way north) and stay in the left lane.  Turn left at Georgia Street .  The Farm Bureau Home Office Building is on your left.  Then read the “Entering” instructions below.

      Directions from the West: Take I-70 East to Indy.  Take the Illinois Street Exit (the next one East of the West St. Exit).  This Exit allows two choices for North-bound streets.  The first one is Illinois St. and the second takes you North on Madison Ave.   Take either one to the left and go N. to South Street.  Turn right (East) and go to the Junction of South Street with Virginia Ave. (NW to SE) and S. East Street .  Turn left on East St. , go past Louisiana St. to Georgia St. and turn right.  The Farm Bureau Home Office is on your right.

      Entering Instructions:  Drive to the north side of the building on Georgia St., pull in at the ground level employees parking area with the cement slab parking area overhead. There may be an arm blocking the way.  If so, talk into the speaker to identify yourself as a nut grower and the guard will raise the bar so you can enter and park.  Enter the building on ground level near the guard station, level one.   Turn left at the first hallway and again left into our meeting room.  Do not park in the front (on the West).  The visitors lot at the front door is locked on weekends.  Refer to the map on the facing page to help orient yourself.
