Got 3 watch batteries, $9.99 each and 3 leather watch bands from $20-$25 each. Went on a Monday at 4pm and he was done with batteries and bands in 15 minutes and after he was done, noticed the buckle on one band was silver but my watch face was gold, so he quickly switched out the buckle to gold tone. Talk about detail and nice. No charge for that.
Open Monday-Sat, 10-6pm.
Is it located behind the appliances.
Great and friendly experience.

Extras:
Silent Auction
50/50 Raffle, $5 tix
Entertainment of various community and high school singers and performers start at 6pm
Desserts were $3, Chocolate and Carrot Cake
Rootbeer floats were $2
Sodas were $2, beer and wine $4, bottles of wine $15
We arrived at 4:30, plenty of parking, they opened rec center/hall located across from the church and let people in a little early. Since we bought our tix online, we walked right in, past the silent auction tables, bought our tix for drinks and desserts then walked to the buffet line for the crab, et al. Then walked to the dining area, easily seating for over 500, family style. Plenty of seating, but by 6:00pm, it got full. There are bowls on the table for the crab shells that are picked up and emptied by the Boy Scouts and bowls of cocktail sauce. There is a table for the coffee and tea, a table for the desserts, an area to order and pick up rootbeer floats. There is a table for 'seconds' of pasta, salads, bread and crab. They loose a star on logistics, the seconds line would get long during the evening, they should have two tables for 'seconds".
Had a great time, was there for two hours just eating, listening to the community entertainment and talking with your table seat mates. All sorts of people attended, buddhist church goers, rotarians and the local community. You can tell the seasoned crab eaters, they brought their own crab shell crackers and picks, I know what to bring next time and know what to wear, you get crab and the smell of crab on everything, crab bits in my hair, my glasses, my purse, my scarf, my shoes, in my teeth..... Would definately go again and take a group of friends.

Verne Varona speaks on Macrobiotics for Dummies -
A 21st Century Multi-Cultural Approach Toward Body, Mind & Spirit Health http://www.cancercontr...
First time to dine in, have been ordering to go. Went with some friends and we all met up there, one was a meat eater and the other a vegetarian and both were pleased. Street parking was packed at 6:30pm. Had to park a couple of blocks away. Paid, signed in and got a table, excellent turnout, around 90 people, I think because of the lecturer who was very good and dynamic and entertaining.
Picked up our soup and took it to the table and met our tablemates. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, you can tell the old timers because they have their own name badges. Then your table is assigned a number to wait in line to be served. Volunteers were asked to help serve the meal, buffet style. A trivia game was played to decide who would be the first table to go up. My friend gave the correct answer, so we got up first....score! Around 7:50pm announcement is made that the presenter Verne would speak and to bus your own tables and first 4 tables are broken down by everyone and chairs setup for the presentation. Even though the lecture was to end by 9pm, there were so many questions, we stayed til 9:20pm. Donation/pass the hat was requested for the speaker, $5-10 pp.
A great meal, met new nice people and learned more about macrobiotics and health. Pretty good for $15.

I am a big omnivore and love meat but was pleasantly surprised at the vegetarian meal, it was definitely filling and most was good, some just so so but that has to do with personal preference. The meal I tried was an asian flavor, seems meals are somewhat ethnically themed and healthy. Light Summer Miso Soup, Nori Roll-ups with Marinated Tempeh and Ginger Pickles,Soba Noodle Salad, Tangy Corn and Summer Squash Salad, Cucumber, Tomato and Mixed Green Salad, Cool Apple Gel with Fresh Fruit, Iced Barley Tea
Was very easy, you call by 9:30am on Monday if you want to dine in or to go that night. Leave your phone number on the message machine if they can't accommodate, they will call you.
Cash only, $15.
Easy street parking since it is a neighborhood, I got there at 6:30pm and parked in front, don't park in the small parking lot.
You are greeted when you enter on the left, fill out a name tag, pay and pick up your soup first then seated as a group or single, family dining style. Located in the hall next to the church. Folding sign outside the door.
I ordered my meal to go and my dinner was waiting on a table with my name on it.
The people are very welcoming and friendly.
Went on Friday around 4pm, was surprisingly empty on the womens side. Was greeted by Kenny the hair stylist and Linda Kim the acupressure masseuse. Very friendly and their English was very good. Linda said to ask for her if I want to make a phone reservation. I get the impression, not everyone speaks English here. It gets really busy after 5pm and on the weekends. I noticed after 5pm, groups of girls would come in together and older ladies. You get an orange lounging outfit of top and shorts and towels when you check in, wish they offered toothbrushes and toothpaste. Love they are open til 12 midnight.
In the womens bath area, 6 sit down showers, and 2 stand up showers. Around 4 scrub tables in the womens scrub area. Small cold and hot pool. Wet sauna. Only one womens bathroom in the changing area. Free, shampoo and conditioner and soap but definitely Costco quality. Take your own if you are sensitive. Very clean, especially in wet areas. A small warm heated raised floor in the womens dressing area to nap and rest. Dressing area can get busy and packed after 5pm, no where to put your stuff other then the floor or your locker when you change.
Had Soong do my body scrub and massage ($70, 90 min body massage) $80 including bathing facility fee, her English is excellent and very friendly with strong hands, thumbs, elbows and forearms. Started with scrubbing my back, front then sides, then soaped me down then the facial then dry then oil massage then hair washing and scalp massage, she even got on my back with her knees and feet, took around 2 hrs. She kept checking in with me on her massage pressure and she uses aloe instead of cucumbers on my face so I didn't feel so dried out afterwards. Would definitely ask for her again, she works Thursday-Monday. Heard they are getting larger padded scrub tables for the American and Russian women, thought that funny.
The tiny restaurant open til 10pm, ordered a couple of hard boiled eggs, soda and spicy kimchee ramen for $11. The cook will bring it out to you in the rest area and you can eat in on the heated floor on the mats or lazyboy chaises. Pictures of food items on the wall, mostly noodles, one item not pictured that I want to try next time is fried rice in an omelet with ketchup drizzled on top, think it is written on the korean menu that I couldn't read.
I spent around 4 hours including eating dinner and just relaxing. There are 4 sauna rooms off the communal men/women resting area. Jade, Crystal and Clay and a cold room, never seen this before. Rock salt does get tracked onto the communal areas floor and mats from the dry sauna room. There is a flat screen TV playing korean TV in the communal room, I prefer it quiet time and listening to my mp3 player or reading a magazine.
Plenty of parking. Seems like a safe area.

The good thing was the latin band that came in to play at 5ish in the lounge. Then came in the grey haired dancers, actually they came just to listen to the music not many of them danced but it was a great place to dance with a decent clean dance floor and west coast swing dance to. Would love to take a group of my WCS dancers to this venue for an early Sunday night. Parking lot was packed but did get a street slot.

Met at the Wave Street Trolley stop, between Prescott & Hoffman, at the parking garage benches, first floor, next to elevators. The parking was convenient and the least expensive at $10 in the area.
Nice there are conveniently located restrooms next to the candy store near the meeting place.
Had a group of 5 people with Thom Diggins, the guide, easy to find, he had a yellow Monterey Walking Tour sign next to him. He was very friendly, informative, loved the visuals of his pictures and was flexible with the group on walking pace and questions and time to take pictures. Enjoyed his references to the Cannery Row novel by Steinbeck.
Plenty of bathroom breaks along the walk, walk wasn't strenuous, fairly flat, some stairs, lots of stops and places to pick up snacks and drinks. Walk was right on time at 2 hours.
Found him through Meet up. I contacted him a week before and he was very responsive. $20 cash for the tour.
