2015 & Prior Photos
When members meet to run a marathon, the Country Club encourages members to take a group photo at the pasta party or race and submit them to the Club president to be posted here. These photos offer an opportunity for members to recognize and know each other. It provides a feeling of comfort to see a friend in a strange country and helps to build camaraderie among Club members.
