Thank you for your message. I would like to attend this lecture, and the date 
is no problem for me. I have not voted through Doodle, because I do not have 
an account, and am not sure there is a reason for me to have one.

I do have another problem. Although you have not said where this meeting will 
take place, I am assuming that it will be somewhere at the Technion. I 
attended a meeting there a couple of years ago, but have not done so since, 
because I do not have a permit to enter the area with my car, so must park at 
the gate and walk in. This would not have been difficult some years ago, but 
age has caught up with me, and the effort is just too much. If you can 
suggest a way for me to get to the meeting place more conveniently, I will be 
grateful, and will certainly attend.
