Hello Golfers,

I have received information about our golf course in Las Vegas. We are

going

to play on Ranch. The price is going to be $65.00 that includes

cart.

It will be a shotgun start at 7:00am Thursday. I have played this

course it

is great course. This is a wide-open course. The PBC challenge is for

all

levels of Golf.

I will be receiving all the information from Las Vegas this next week.

Please

let us know soon if you plan on playing golf with us in Las Vegas, as we

cannot add members on in Vegas. All our plans have to be made ahead of

time.

Thank you,

Haynes

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the schedule info. However, it is the same as I was sent and

found on the web site. Since I will only be attending intermittently and

still working some at the University - I was hoping to find specific times

scheduled for certain topics and speakers. Looking to see everyone there.

Can we put our EMail addresses on our badges to help identify the LiverL

members?

The message said " could not find this URL " . Are there any AIH

topics? When is it?
