TAPL Spring Golf Tournament

The 2007 TAPL Spring Golf Tournament is scheduled for next Monday, May 14, 2007 at Indian Springs Country Club.  The tournament filled up quickly and we expect it to be another great event.  Due to the large attendance and a reduction in available parking, ISCC management has asked that we try to help the situation by carpooling, if possible.  ISCC has built additional tennis courts where we had overflow parking in the past. As a result, unless we carpool, some of us are going to be parking in the Wal-Mart lot just off the Creek Turnpike and Elm.  So, let’s all help – at the very least, meet at the Wall Mart just off the Creek Turnpike and Elm and carpool to ISCC.  We should have a great time with everyone’s help.    Remember that lunch will be served beginning …
