Claxton Country Squares Club Picnic
1339 Laurel Road, Clinton, TN 37716
Hello Claxton Country Squares Club Members
Eric and I wanted to set up our picnic a little earlier this year. So we decided on Sunday July 20 at our house . We will start at 2pm but not eat until 4pm so that everyone has time to get here and we can visit before we eat.
We have a pool so people can go swimming if so desired and we'll have lawn games as well. Our address is: 1339 Laurel Road, Clinton all the way at the top of the hill.
Petra's phone 865 809 0301
Eric's phone 865 250 2380
We will send out a picnic sign-up very soon. Please let us know if you can make it.
