NEW vs OLD.....

In need of some TLC.

The Club has been fortunate to have some really nice improvements donated recently (see past posts w/r 200 yd bench, horseshoe pit, archery targets, road improvements, backstop work).
-
While enjoying these new additions, we, as members, must take on the responsibility of keeping them in good repair.  It was with that thought that the outdoor grill near the pavilion came to mind. 
-
The grill was in bad shape and not very inviting to use.  Some might have said it was junk, something to throw away..... BUT note the blue placards on the side----

Thank You-- M & M Welding !!

-
This grill was a donation, it needed to be maintained to show respect to the donors!  A couple hours and a little BBQ paint ------ and there you have it.  A pretty good looking functional grill for members to use and enjoy (see previous post).  Just like the original donors intended.
-
-

Restoration complete.

I would like to thank Mark Craig for showing me the placards he placed on the projects he made for our Club.  If not for that, I may never have noticed the placards on the grill.  You see, that made the decision to restore the grill an obvious one.  We (members) have the obligation to  maintain and preserve donations made to the Club. 
-
Usually, that is all that donors want in return-- to see that appreciation for their efforts. 
-
If you can help with something, please bring your ideas to one of the officers.  We all benefit in the end by enjoying the use---
-
I sure did!!!

Fruits of the labor.

Moving Ahead....!

Tyler working on the layout of the archery range

 The April meeting started with a review of the Archery Range layout and it looks like a good fit up-slope of the horseshoe pit and stretching along that slope.  Tyler placed metal stakes to mark the position of the target stands and there is a large rock marking  the shooting line.
-
 Tyler's Eagle Scout Project will be taking shape over the next couple of months so stop by and take a look as he starts his work.

Marking the stakes.

  As with any facility, maintenance is always a problem.  Routine cleaning is necessary.  Some of the wood structures are in need of paint or stain, and the roof has a leak.  We are attempting to prioritize these issues in order to address them.  Any help from members will be greatly appreciated.
-
  The additions to our facilities that have been made recently are very nice, but we as the membership must be willing to put in the time to keep the facilities in good order for all to enjoy.
-
  As the weather continues to improve, come out to the grounds and look around.  The place is special and has much to offer.  Enjoy!

A New Look ----

In order to keep members informed as much as possible, this Blog has been modified a bit.
-
In the past, the "Next Meeting" was posted to the right of the current Post.  It is still there, but under the new heading "Up-Coming Events".  The next meeting is at the top so it will look much the same.  Scrolling down, however, will show the new addition.  A list of the events using our Club facilities is now being included.
-
The intent is to better inform the members of the different activities taking place at our Club.  There may be a time, if the event is not a closed event, that members may want to attend, or drop by to see what is taking place.

Feel free to leave a comment -----

Nice Job, Tyler!

-
Tyler Landis presented an Eagle Scout Project at our March meeting.  He did a fine job, too.
-
Once he obtains final approval from the Boy Scouts, he will be setting up an "Archery Range" for the Club's use.  It will be located up slope from the Pavilion.  The range will consist of targets at 20, 30, and 40 yards.  He will be using reusable targets that should last quite a while.
-
Stay tuned as design details are finalized.  If you bump into Tyler, be sure to thank him for helping our Club.
