RNA Meeting Schedule

The RNA holds 21 regular meetings each year. Meetings take place from 8 PM until 10 PM on the first and third Thursday of each month from September until June. There are no meetings in July or August.

In addition to the talk, each meeting includes an opportunity for members and guests to "show and tell" their latest finds, an auction of items consigned by members, and refreshments. Members are encouraged to come a half-hour early to socialize before the meeting.

Meetings are held in the lower level of the Eisenhart Auditorium of the Rochester Museum and Science Center, 657 East Avenue in Rochester. There is ample free parking in several lots at the museum, with access from East Avenue, Goodman Street, and Oxford Street.

Enter through the main Eisenhart Auditorium entrance and follow the "RNA" signs to the rear of the building. Go through the "USS Rochester" exhibit to the door at the back of the exhibit, and down one flight of stairs to our meeting room.
