Directions:
Take Hwy 29 north past Yountville. In Oakville turn left or
west on Walnut Drive. This drive is private and doesn't always have a
road sign. You will know you at the right spot when you see the
Oakville Pump sign on the left and the Oakville grocery on the right
side. Take Walnut drive to the west and go past a small white bridge
and past a red, old-fashioned phone booth. Shortly past the phone booth
turn right on an unmarked partly paved road. The building immediately
on your right will be Creekside.

Bring a brown bag lunch. The usual format is a brief introduction of group
members, a 1 hour presentation or discussion and then informal conversation
and networking

Hope to see you all there,
