Because of the Lone Tree Golf Club annual craft sale, we won't be meeting there on Nov. 3. Instead, our meeting will be held at Hilton Garden Inn, located at1050 Plaza Dr, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126. This is where the Highlands Ranch Chamber meets.
There is 1 catch - the room only seats 32. So we will have a sign up sheet going around the next 2 weeks to make sure we stay at that number. It will be first come, first served.
WHAT A GREAT GALA IT WAS!
