The International Wives Club meets in a room at the Woodmen Valley Chapel. Here are the directions to that church:

Address:

Woodmen Valley Chapel

290 E. Woodmen Road

Colorado Springs, CO 80919.

For a map, go to http://www.mapquest.com

DIRECTIONS:

·    Go north on I-25 to Woodmen Road, and take exit #149 (Woodmen).

·    At the stoplight just off the freeway, turn left or west (toward the mountains).

·    After around a third of a mile you will go over a bridge. At the next stoplight following the bridge, turn right. Even though you have turned right you will actually still be on Woodmen Road (if you had gone straight at the light, it would have been Rockrimmon).

·    Go a short block and turn right at Chapel Lane.

·    Turn left at the first street. This street leads to the Woodmen Valley Chapel parking lot. Go through the doors on the ground floor and look for someone to ask to find out where the International Wives Club is meeting.

For more information concerning the International Women’s Connection, such as the times of their meetings, please contact Connie Trautman (phone: 282-2899, email:  ctrautman456@adelphia.net). All IWC activities are free of charge.
