2019 Meetings – usually 3rd Saturday of the month but due to travel schedule and conflicts some meetings will be the fourth Saturday. There will be 10 meetings – seven will be at the Country Club and three at the Courtyard by Marriott. The Marriott meetings are identified with **.
Note: When at the Country Club the Club General Manager requests for all WGIPOA meetings not to park in main area but on side or in the back due to golfer complaints. There will be guides to direct cars. Door in the back leads right into meeting area.
