Assembly Location Change

Brothers, be advised, the Park Rangers have reviewed the status of current projects and decided to relocate our assembly area to the Akers Drive Entrance, Palisades Unit, http://goo.gl/maps/u8fQ6 so that we will be closer to the trail section that will be our focus for the day. We will be doing finish work on new trail; exciting times!!!

The address is 2361 Akers Drive on the north side of the river, on the east side of I-75, and south of I-285, http://goo.gl/maps/u8fQ6. This is a new assembly area that we have never utilized.
