Join Us In-Person for the May Meeting (NO ZOOM)
The May meeting is to be held in-person at Second United Methodist Church, 1524 Western Ave., Knoxville, TN on Sunday, April 6, 2025. There will be no Zoom meeting. Please note that our meeting, beginning in 2025, is now on the first Sunday of the month. If you are not feeling well, please stay home.
CLUB MEMBERS!! Due to security reasons, we MUST enter and exit our meeting facility using the coded door from the parking lot on the Western Avenue side of the building. We must use this entrance ONLY for our meetings. This is at the request of the church. Please show your respect and appreciation for our wonderful meeting facility by fully cooperating. The door code for KADC was changed in March and members should have the new door code that was sent out in a member email. If you are visiting, there is a phone number listed on the door to call for assistance.
