Altanta – Jul 11 2011

We will have our July monthly get-together on Monday, July 11th instead of our normal first Tuesday of the month. We will be meeting on the beautiful pool deck / rooftop ( referred to as the SOL deck) situated on the 4th floor of the new MELIA Hotel, located at 590 West Peachtree Street NW / Atlanta 30308. Our usual start time will be 7:30 until.

In case of rain, we will meet instead on the 25th floor of the hotel in a banquet room overlooking the city. Either way, this should be a great venue for our meeting and we expect a great turn-out.

Valet parking will be available at a reduced rate of $12 – otherwise, feel free to park alongside Spring street where a parking deck (not affiliated with the hotel) is available.

Many thanks,
Your Atlanta EuroCircle team!!!
