At the meetup you will learn about:

Plus, if you attend the presentation and complete a survey distributed during the event, you will also get a free 15 minutes phone consultation with Vera.

    Hi, I'm new to the area... Can someone recommend areas for parking or if there's a train/bus that is nearby? and if there is public transportation, is the neighborhood safe for walking? (Coming from Menlo Park)
