Volunteer Work Party:

This Saturday, March 28, 2015

Big, strong, energetic people needed!

 When:  Saturday, March 28^th, 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 21^st. 

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!)***
