I'm sorry if this next part is confusing . . .
The address is 1098 N Ellsworth Ave. Salem, OH 44460, but there
are two buildings and two entrances. You'll want the Salem
CenterPlex 
entrance, not the Salem Community Center entrance.
The CenterPlex entrance is closer to 10th Street, whereas the
Community Center entrance is closer to 12th Street. If we run out
of parking at the CenterPlex, you can park at the Community
Center, and there is a sidewalk over to the CenterPlex.

Please check back frequently for COVID-19 updates.
