Ross Road Elementary School, North Vancouver   7:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Gleneagles will host a walk through on March 17. The regular school that is used is not available to the Club during March so the walk through will be at - Ross Road Elementary School, 2875 Bushnell Place in the Lynn Valley Area. Turn east onto Ross Road off Mountain Highway, travel a block or so and then turn right (south) on Bushnell Place. This is a dead end road and the school will be on your right hand side. Gleneagles will host the evening so there will not be any drop in fee.
