NEXT MEETING

OUR NEXT MEETING:

OUR MAY CLUB-MEETING
This May, Ciancia returns to its tradition of a private setting. Our next host, Alessio Medda was born in Sardinia, Italy and lived there until the late 90’s. In 2003, he enrolled in a doctoral program in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. In 2006 he moved to Florida State University where he finished his doctoral degree and taught Italian as well as graduate courses in electrical engineering. Shortly thereafter, Alessio accepted a position as Visiting Faculty at the FSU Electrical and Computer Engineering School, then he moved to a full time research position at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory, in Alabama. Since 2011 he is at the Georgia Tech Research Institute, where he works as a researcher for various government sponsored programs.

One of Alessio’s greatest passions is cooking. This is where he tries to reproduce the unique flavors and dishes of his beloved native island. Among other things, Alessio loves old fashion black and white film and digital photography, hiking, road biking, reading and collecting old (and new) vinyl records! His passion for good food and friendship is what brought him to Ciancia, and he and his wife Meredith are happy to host Ciancia for the first time.

FRIDAY MAY 17, 2013 Time: 7:00 p.m.
Alessio and Meredith Medda
304 Rockmann LN SW
Marietta, GA 30064

The house is located in the general North Atlanta area, in the west side of Marietta. Coming from I75 north, you need to pass the 285 junction and continue until exit 265 for Georgia 120. There, turn right and continue on North Marietta Parkway until the intersection with Withlock Ave. There, turn right and continue on Withlock until you get to Manning Rd Sw, just before Marietta High School.
Then turn left and continue straight until on your right you will see a new gated community called Rockford Township (this is just after the school).
Parking is suggested just after the entry gate on the right, next to the pool area. The house is easily reachable by walking distance, and is the second house on the right in the first street to the left from the main entrance.
The house is in a new construction development, therefore your GPS with old map information may not be able to locate it. If you have a phone with Google maps you should not have any problem finding it.
This is the googlemap location: http://goo.gl/maps/RZ7qd

FOOD AND WINE POLICY AT THIS MEETING: all attendees are welcome to bring to this event a bottle of Italian wine and/or food, ready to be consumed. Please, drink responsibly and sober up before you drive off.
