Bonus Work Party Mar 2015 Thank You

 

 THANK YOU, thank you, Thank You,

THANK YOU!!

Archery would not exist in Balboa Park without the hard work of volunteers who love archery.  If you love the sport of archery and enjoy shooting at the Balboa or Morley Ranges, please come join us at a future work party to help maintain these incredible archery ranges. Non-members are welcome, too! 

March BONUS Work Party Wrap Up

A HUGE THANK YOU to the volunteers who worked so hard at the BONUS Work Party on Saturday, Mar 28: Chad, Carlos, Doug, Dorian, Pat, Fred, Allison, Melissa, Larry, Dana and Patty.  Dead branches, trees and brush were dragged into piles, Target 20 (under the bridge and other shooting lanes were cleared, and many loads of old logs were hauled to the dump. Carlos will be bringing in a chipper soon and pulverizing the piles of dead debris, which will be spread throughout the range for mulch. We still have a long list to do before the King Arthur Tournament on June 21st, but we are making great progress! The Balboa Range hasn’t looked this good in YEARS! Thank you, everyone!

Work Party – 28 March 2015

 

Volunteer Work Party:

Next Saturday, March 28, 2015

Big, strong, energetic people needed!

 When:  Saturday, March 28th, 8am-noon.

Where:  Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range.

Bring:  Sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants, work gloves, water bottle.

Work Focus:  We will be dragging all the dead and downed trees in the Balboa Range into a few piles. From there, the dead material will be chipped and scattered throughout the range. This is continued preparation for our Annual King Arthur Tournament on June 21st. 

For those of you who have not been to the Balboa Range recently, it has gone through a remarkable change! SDA Member Carlos Espinoza was hired to give all the massive palm trees a dramatic hair cut and haul the downed fronds away (these had been piled up for the past two years.) Thank you, Carlos. The range looks fantastic. 

Now, a crew of SDA members, including Chad, Craig, Carlos and Dorian, have volunteered to do the remainder of the clearing. Once all the dead branches are piled up, Carlos has volunteered to bring a chipper in and take care of the piles (with help from more volunteers, of course!)

***We need more volunteers to help drag the dead branches into piles.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to help before, this is a great group of guys who would really appreciate your help. (I’ll be there!)***

Thank you,
