Details regarding St John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church
The address for your GPS is
55 Wilbur Blvd
Poughkeepsie, NY 12603
Wilbur Blvd runs between Hooker Ave and Spackenkill Road.
If coming from south-central Dutchess, Route 376 runs northwest as New Hackensack Rd. from Red Oaks Mill, and then turns north at Vassar College as Raymond Ave. Continue straight at Raymond/ Vassar and the roadway becomes Hooker Ave.
Wilbur Blvd is the first traffic signal after Raymond Ave. Wilbur is nearly opposite a garage with a large HANKOOP tires sign. It has a center island; the church is on the left two long city blocks in, just after the center island ends. There is a stop sign along the way.
The church exit (unsigned) comes first, and then two signed entrances to the parking lot. Look for the yellow diamond Bicycle traffic warning sign – the first entry is just before that.
Go to the back corner of the parking lot away from Wilbur Blvd. in order to see the rebuilt central entrance to the annex, which has a portico like overhead “cover”. There is a blue Welcome sign near that entry. The rooms we use are up a split-level stairway and on the right.
Look for Eagle Board signs.
There is a (new) elevator in this entryway, so handicapped usage has improved.
If you use Route 9 to get to Spackenkill Road, Wilbur is a left turn at the second traffic light – you will go about 1.5 miles & pass the McCann Golf Course and Spratt Park on your right before the church parking lot is reached.
If coming from Routes 44/55, turn south on Raymond Ave, enjoy the wonderful traffic circles, and turn right onto Hooker Ave (not left onto 376), and proceed as above.
We will be using rooms 207 on the right, and 205 & 208 on the left, as needed.
The Eagle Adv. Committee has both physical and administrative set-up work to do before these rooms and our Board members are ready for Eagle Board activity.
Please stand clear until we are ready – help with chairs and tables might be useful, depending on our numbers.
