Work Party #1, 2004

Sunday, 28 March 2004

The first work party of the year occurred on Saturday, 27 March 2004.  The weather cooperated, and a considerable amount of work was done, both inside and out.  The following tasks were accomplished on Saturday:

• Fallen limbs were collected and cut up for firewood.  Twigs and other lawn trash were taken to the burn pile.
• Firewood was delivered by David Fuge, and stacked at the east end of the clubhouse.
• Brass was raked up on the 50 yard ranges and picked up on the 100 yard range.
• Trash was picked up and burned on the 50 and 100 yard ranges.
• The trap houses were swept out, and the trap machines greased.  Trap #1 was also repaired.
• Wads were raked from around trap #2 and #1.
• The first layer of crud and debris was swept from the clubhouse roof, and the south half of the roof was pressure-washed.
• The area around trap #7 was cleaned up so that we could see if it can be put back in use.
• A new telephone pole was erected at the west end of the clubhouse porch to hold lights for trap #2, preparatory to the porch roof being repaired.  Dan Stevens provided the tractor and backhoe to dig the hole and set up the pole.
• The shrubbery along the front of the clubhouse was weeded and cleared, and wooden borders to hold mulch and wood chips was installed.
• Shelves to hold the computer and monitor for the cashier's window were made and installed by Mike Crawford.
• A display case was donated by Larry Wright, and temporarily located on the north wall of the clubhouse.
• The bird room was cleared of accumulated trash, junk, and unused stuff, and then reorganized.  A space was provided for cabinets and storage for the Hunter Education training materials.
• The office was cleaned, and Hunter Education materials were moved to the bird room.
