CCC Activities
By JEANETTE WINKLER
If you build it , they will come
With the opening of the Activity Center in April 2022 , the Charbonneau Country Club increased its
WINKLER event spaces from four to twelve rooms . And room usage has increased dramatically in the last year as a result . It has been a pleasure to reserve rooms for and coordinate with residents to ensure that their parties , business meetings and other events run smoothly .
If you are interested in reserving a room for your event , you may want to peruse the calendar on the Charbonneau website to see if a particular room , date and time is available . And , if you already have access to the resident portal , you can request a room by filling out a form directly from the website . An email will be sent to me with your request and I will contact you shortly thereafter . Visit our website calendar at charbonneaucountryclub . com and do not hesitate to contact me at 503-694-2300 or jeanette @ charbonneaucountryclub . com if you have questions on how to navigate the website .
