Defense Party

Join us the evening after Yasmine’s defense for an outdoor celebration! There will be plenty of Lebanese food (catered by the best Lebanese restaurant in town, the Bassil household), drinks, and good company to toast the newest Dr. Bassil!

I’m so honored and grateful to be surrounded by love and community post-PhD — let’s celebrate together!
— Yasmine

Getting There

The house sits at the corner of Moreland Ave SE and Lyndale Dr SE. If you’re driving or coming by rideshare, please turn onto Lyndale Dr SE to park or be dropped off.

Parking

Free street parking

Street Parking

Drive down Moreland Ave SE and, when you reach the intersection with Lyndale Dr SE, turn right onto Lyndale — it’s a smaller gravel road. There’s free street parking along the left side of Lyndale (the same side as the house). Please try to avoid parking on both sides of the road.

If Lyndale is full, the neighborhood just behind the house has plenty of free street parking — Gilbert St SE is a good bet.
