to The Fields from Marietta:Cross over the Ohio River on the Williamstown
Bridge. At the light in front of DaVinci’s, turn right onto Route 14 and go
slightly less than a mile and a half. Turn left into the drive to the condo
community. (There is a sign and a yellow & black post at Route 14.) The
drive intersects with a street that circles the green in the center of the
condos. You will see the clubhouse straight in front of you. The clubhouse has
a parking lot in front, and you can also park on the street. The Fields also
comes up on GPS. If you need help, call Martha on her cell phone:
304-834-9600. Hosts Martha McGovern and Suzyn Mills are anticipating a GREAT
evening and are looking forward to seeing you
all!!!</SPAN></FONT></DIV></LI></UL>
