Our club meets every Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. at the Crossbow Restaurant, 479-738-2422.
The Crossbow is located on U.S. 412B or Parrott Dr. in Huntsville.
If you take the first exit on U.S 412 coming to Huntsville from the west, you will
go downtown. After leaving the public square, turn left after passing the Sonic Drive-in and the Crossbow
will be about 1/2 mile on your left.
You may travel on eastward on U.S. 412 and take the second exit, Highway 23 into
Huntsville. Once you enter the city limits, the Crossbow is about 1/4 mile on your right.
Our Board of Directors meet on the first Thursday of each month and we normally do
not have a program that day.
The club meets in the north dining room. A private entrance is
