The Maintenance and Security Committee will be sponsoring a community volunteer work day on Saturday, July 1st between 9-12. Please plan on gathering at the Forge with your implements of destruction (rakes, clippers, hacksaws, scythes or whatever bramble and weed tackling tools you have.) A hotdog feast will follow for all volunteers! Please contact Andrea Combes at [email protected] or Ethan Gee at [email protected] with any questions.

Community Volunteer Work Day, a tradition started by Alice, is taking shape. We expect to have a reasonable number of projects which should include Cemetery clean-up, Tennis Courts clean-up plus shed clean-up, West Rock trail maintenance and perhaps some localized invasive clean-up. Should anyone have a project suggestion, please contact Andrea or me directly (emails in above post). We will have a hotdog cookout starting at ~noon to include refreshments (soda, water, beer).
See you there!

We have 3 projects in mind for the morning. Each will entail brush clearing, some light chainsaw work possible. Weed trimming, as well. There are a few small-scale demo and carpentry projects, as well as clean-up and organizing. Specifics:West Rock/Western Lookout Trail clean-up
– Clippers, shears/loppers should suffice.Tennis Courts
– Demo old picnic table, ready it for burning (sledge or splitting maul)
– Org. shed to accommodate existing equipment, make room for future community equipment to be stored there
– Replacement of 2 – 3 boards on spectator seating (will bring boards along with drill and screws)
– Screw down any boards requiring such
– clean-up around courts, trim back brush from seating, under seating (weed trimmer, loppers, high branch trimmer/saw)
– perhaps spread some grass seed (we will provide)
– Clear path to outhouse and sweep out outhouse (brooms, dust pan)
– Dig out by shed door so it will close properly (shovel or 2 needed)Cemetery
– General Clean-up (the woods are encroaching and even covering up a few headstones on the back edges)
– Loppers and high cutters neededMountain Message Board (next to Van Griggs water kettle)
– replace backing with new cork board (will be supplied, screwdriver needed)July 5, 2023 at 5:20 pm #51013Ethan GeeKeymasterA huge THANK YOU to all who were able to come out and get their hands dirty for our community day projects last Saturday! In record time we expertly executed on 3 clean-up projects and the results are fantastic.
I look forward to tackling a few more projects with you all next summer!
