Come and see Doug’s New Digs! As you all know, Doug McGuire moved to Ashby Ponds a year ago, and it’s now time for us to pay him a visit.
We will gather on Saturday, February 22nd in the Banquet Room located in the Great Oak Clubhouse at 5:00 for dinner and a tour. Directions are below.
The guard at the gate house will provide you with a map showing the location for parking and the Great Oak Clubhouse. For those of you car pooling I suggest that the passengers by delivered to Clubhouse first, and then go to the visitors parking area next to Maple Grove. Take the shuttle bus from the parking area to Great Oak Clubhouse.
