Jim C is coordinating the event and can use help in preparing. The event will be held at Pine Canyon Clubhouse from 5-8 PM. BRCST will provide meat, attendees are asked to bring a side dish or desert to share. Additional details will follow as they develop.
- We are still looking for new candidates for board positions of Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary for 2026. If anyone is interested, or you have a recommendation, please contact a board member soon, so we can prepare.
- We are still waiting on shed repairs, based on availability of resources. Since fall is approaching, we should see what can be done. If interim repairs can be done to upgrade the “weasel-y” lock to help secure the building we may consider alternative effort to allow us to begin using it.
