Summer 2007 Location

During the Summer months we will be taking advantage of the nice weather and meeting outdoors at a park beside the reservoir instead of in our usual building. We will be meeting at Lakeshore Park on the Ross Barnet Reservoir under the covered pavllion near the restrooms and tennis courts.

Take Spillway Rd. across the spillway. Take a left at the first stop light (Old Fanin Rd. / North Shore Parkway) McDonald's will be on the right at that light. You will turn left in Lake Shore Park (not the campground but the next left). You can find us via the map at this link.

When you arrive at Lakeshore Park, drive around the one-way loop and look for us at pavilion #4. If it rains we will still be there nice and dry under the pavilion.
