From National Links Trust:

“We want to thank all of our community for their continued support during this process.”

And an important reminder this (Monday) morning:

“While we continue to monitor developments surrounding third-party litigation, East Potomac Golf Links is open for business. We will provide updates as they become available.

Thank you for your continued support.”
