Hello!
Thank you for RSVP’ing to attend the “Leaving a Legacy: Camp Whispering Oaks” Event on October 29, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
We are so glad that you will be joining us!
As you make final preparations to attend the event, please review the information below:
GETTING TO AND FROM THE EVENT:
NO PARKING WILL BE AVAILABLE AT CAMP WHISPERING OAKS ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT. The parking lot at camp is quite small and we are expecting a good turnout; therefore, all event parking will be off-site at Aubrey Middle School. A shuttle bus to and from the school will be provided.
Drop- offs at the camp location will not be permitted and we would like to thank you in advance for complying. We encourage everyone to carpool if possible.
Aubrey Middle school is located at 815 W. Sherman Drive, Aubrey, TX 76227, approximately 1 mile north of Camp Whispering Oaks.
The parking lot will open at 9:30 a.m. and the shuttle bus will run continuously from 9:35 to 2:15pm.
Per our agreement with the school, all cars must leave the school parking lot by 2:30 pm.
WHAT TO BRING:
In addition to a celebratory spirit, please bring a water bottle, wear comfortable shoes for walking, and dress for the weather.
