COMMUNICATOR APRIL 2007
Second Annual Spring Clean Up
On May 6th this year we would like as many members as possible to come to the Club beginning at 9:00 AM to help spruce up the interior and the grounds for the new season. Polishing up the interior (light fixtures, floors, showers, etc.), cleaning up the grounds (raking leaves, weeding, pine needle removal, preparing the flower beds, etc) can all be made easier with lots of hands to help. Please bring any equipment (pails, rakes, gloves, etc.) for the jobs you are interested in doing. The Club will supply the cleaning supplies and a light lunch. Please RSVP to Dale or the office if you can help. Thanks.
