all the church buildings are. Park in an appropriate
parking area of the lot and then get on the sidewalk
next to the billboard. The church sanctuary will be

stairway to the second floor and an elevator for the
handicapped. Go up to the second floor and Room 213

The processing and exams will start at 9:00 AM. The
examination fee is $15.00 payable in cash or by check

Makeever or Joe Thiel if you have questions about
the process or paperwork or identifications that you
