SPRING MEETING

 

About 70 OLPNO members attended our Spring meeting at O'Donnell golf course Clubhouse to hear updates from the organization and to share their thoughts and ideas on neighborhood issues.

What better way to spend a couple of hours catching up on neighborhood news and visiting with friends, old and new?  We hope to see you at our Fall meeting in November.
