Location
Grapevine is conveniently located in Grand Rapids near the downtown junction of US I-131 and I-196. We meet just north of the I-196 freeway Fuller St. exit at 750 Fuller Ave. NE. Meetings are at the Spectrum Health Continuing Care facility (formerly Kent Community Hospital). There is a traffic signal at the drive into the complex. Turn right (east) and look for the building with the red steps out front. There is plenty of FREE PARKING.
