Work Party #8, 2015

Saturday, 21 December 2015

After days of rain we got a nice sunny day to work on the soggy ground.  There were 26 members who showed up for the work party, and several stayed around after lunch to help with making the fruit baskets for the Elwood Faist Memorial Shoot on Sunday.  Coffee was on at 7:45 AM, although the doughnuts didn't arrive until around 8:30 AM, and lunch (from Ebner's), and beverages were available to participants at 12:15 PM.

The following are the tasks that were done:

• Raked wads around the trap houses.
• Cleaned and restocked the trap houses in preparation for the trap shoot.
• Filled pot holes in the driveway and parking area, and top dressed the walk from the parking area to the porch on the north side of the clubhouse in preparation for the annual meeting.
• Cleaned the bird room to make room for the 124 fruit baskets.
• Blew and raked leaves (and other windfall) into piles and transported them to the burn pile north of the 50-yard ranges.
• Cut new steel stakes to use to hold down the ground cloth covering the shot berm on the trap ranges.
• Installed software on the cashier's PC in preparation for the installation of the Point of Sale (POS) software the club is purchasing.
