Location: The Ball is located at the Piedmont Veterans Memorial Hall, 401 Highland Avenue, Piedmont, CA 94611, about a mile and a quarter northeast of I-580 and the Oakland Avenue exit (about half way between I-580 and California Hwy 13), right next to Piedmont Park. The facility has restrooms (whew!), a kitchen with refrigeration, changing areas in the restrooms, as well as some very nice surroundings and city views. Oh yes, there's a dance floor, too! Remember, you'll have to take a break between the end of the workshop at 5p and the start of singing at 7:30p. Fortunately, there is dining and grocery stores (including maps/directions if you're not familiar with the area) as well as other neighborhood items. Just be sure to make it back in time for singing!
