Volunteer Party – 3/22/14

SAN DIEGO ARCHERS

VOLUNTEER PARTY THIS SATURDAY

MARCH 22, 2014

Have you noticed that the bales on many of

the target butts need to be replaced?

Are you curious about how new, replacement bales seem

to MAGICALLY appear at the Balboa Park and Morley Field Ranges?

Would you like to see how new bales are

compressed and moved between the ranges?

Or, better yet, would you like to help the hard working

club members who are always replacing the bales for us?

If you answered YES to two or more of these questions,

you are ready for a lesson from the SDA Master Bale Builders.

An additional four volunteers would be of tremendous assistance

and get the job done in just an hour or two.

If you have a good pair of work gloves and

want to join in the fun, please RSVP to:

SanDiegoArchers@yahoo.com

The first four volunteers to reply will be the lucky ones to help out this Saturday. Bale maintenance occurs year round as needed, so there will be more opportunities to help throughout the year. If more than four people respond, we will keep a running list of anyone interested in learning about bale maintenance and send you an email next time around.
