Welcome Back Luncheon: As the summer season draws to a close, we are looking forward to fall and winter golf here in IronOaks. One of the highlights of our year is the Niners Welcome Back Luncheon. This year’s luncheon will be held at the Oakwood Clubhouse on Tuesday, November 18 starting at 11:00 a.m. President Dave Peters will preside over the event and Treasurer Joe Sigillo will arrange the lunch menu and other details. Mark your calendar and plan to attend this free luncheon event.
IronOaks annual Activities Open House: On Saturday, October 25 the Activities Open House will take place at the Oakwood Clubhouse between 9:00 a.m.-noon.
