Do you need to know how to get to the Fed? Here are the directions:
The Texas Federation of Women's Clubs. 2312 San Gabriel. At the corner of 24th street and San Gabriel, west of the U.T. campus.
From MoPac Boulevard - Exit Windsor. Turn east onto Windsor. At Lamar, Windsor becomes 24th Street. Stay on 24th Street until you get to the traffic light at the top of the hill - that's San Gabriel. The Fed is on your right - the large red brick Colonial-style building. Freewheelin' Bicycles, where you can park for free after 7 pm, is at the same intersection, across the street from the Fed.
