A celebration of life for Jerry Schroeder will be held on Saturday, March 16 from 2-5 PM in Copley Formal Lounge on the Georgetown University campus. The lounge is in Copley Hall (3761 Old N Way) which faces the main quad along 37 th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Access to the building is through the Red Square door to the north of Copley – close to White Gravenor Hall.

There are approximately 10 steps down to enter the lounge. Contact Georgetown Event Management Services prior to the event (202-687-3726) if you require accessibility accommodation. You can also call upon arrival. Another option is to be dropped off behind White Gravenor.

Tributes and “stories without Jerry” will be shared by select family and friends at 3:30 PM.

Transportation/parking for Georgetown

Uber: Ask to be dropped off at the front gate, which is at 3700 O Street, NW, Washington, DC 20057. Walk straight ahead to the John Carroll statue. Turn right to Red Square and left into Copley Hall.

Street parking: Street parking may be available although the time limit is two hours.

Southwest Quadrangle Parking Garage: Visitors should use 3611 Canal Road, NW as the address when using GPS. Pay for parking available at the garage which is accessible from the Canal Road entrance to the University. Daily parking rate is $5/hour.

Walking routes from the garage to the Copley:

1. Take the elevator or steps up to the surface level
2. Walk east toward the volleyball court in the Southwest Quadrangle.
3. Walk down Library Walk (past Leo O’Donovan’s Dining Hall the Healy Family Student Center).
4. Turn left at the library and walk down the lawns past Healy circle.
5. Walk to the bricks of Red Square
6. Turn left into Copley Formal Lounge. There are 5-10 steps into the room.

Guests with disabilities: One of Jerry’s fraternity members has secured a golf cart to help transport guests from the garage to the memorial and back after it’s over. This is for people who will have difficulty negotiating the hill that is between the garage and Copley. If you need this kind of assistance, please contact Betsy at least one day before the 17 th in order to get the cell number for the golf cart driver. The meeting place for the golf cart is next to the ground level exit for the garage, across from the volleyball courts. There are two elevators to get out of the garage. Where you park will determine which elevator is closest.

Directions from Canal Road: You can drive into the back entrance of the university coming from either direction on Canal Road. There is a light. Follow the road. You will pass a guard house. I don’t know, if anyone will be in it. Don’t turn into the facilities garage which comes before the public parking entrance. Each level is color coded. Be sure to note where you left your car. Look for the nearest elevator.
