Nancy Buress has graciously invited Olympic Club Members and Guests to attend the annual OCTC picnic at her beautiful home on the shore of Big Lake. The hot tub and lake are available to anyone wishing to get wet, so bring your swimsuits, towels, and suntan lotion.
We will begin at 11:00 AM with a Potluck lunch. The main dish, dessert, and pop and water will be provided by our host, otherwise, it is BYOB. If you are able, please bring a side dish, fruit or vegetable plate, salad, appetizers, chips, or snacks for sharing. Extra chairs are always welcome.
It’s a fun drive up Highway 9 where you turn west onto Lake View Blvd. It takes a lot more time than the freeway, so plan accordingly.
Nancy is really looking forward to seeing everyone and hoping for a beautiful day.
NOTE: The Olympic Club has a number of new and newer members in the northern I-5 corridor. It would be great if you could come to join us and meet your fellow club members. Possibly, someone would be willing to coordinate a meeting place and time, and you could caravan to Nancy’s. Please let me know, so I can include it in the July newsletter.
Also, in the July newsletter, there will be a meet time and location for those from the south that wish to caravan up Highway 9
