Hi All, just quickly introducing you to this feature. Please feel free to use this if you'd like to organize a carpool. On that note, I have space in my truck for 3 others and happy to stop at the Harper Center to pick up people.
As a reminder, we will be meeting in the parking lot of the tennis complex. It can be accessed via Ed Creighton Ave between 32nd Ave & Hanscom Blvd. Address: 3220 Ed Creighton Ave
