Foreshore Work Party Weekend

WORK PARTY # 1:
What better way to spend a weekend that working on the beach. So grab some gloves and meet down at the beach on Saturday at 9:00 AM. Here is what we are going to be doing:
- Adding ballast around the deck supports to keep them from getting damaged during high water (which is just around the corner).
- Filling the sandbox with some sand.
- Other general maintenance that needs to be done down there. An email will be coming out later in the week with more information. Grant is leading it so send him an email to let him know you are interested in helping.

WORK PARTY # 2:
If lugging big rocks around makes your knees cringe and back ache, you can always meet on Sunday at the tennis courts for some weed pulling. Donna is looking for some help cleaning out the garden at the courts. Sunday June 12th. Donna had times from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Now I don't think that there are THAT many weeds in the garden so I am guessing she meant 10:00 am.

On other community notes:

THIEVES:

Yup. We are not immune. Apparently a vehicle that was parked down at the beach had items stolen from it this past weekend. Change, CD's etc. This was during the day so make sure that your vehicle is locked up when you head out onto the water. Same goes for your house.

RECYCLING BIN:

Is history. It left rather soon after the long weekend. I must admit that the site looks much better now that the bin is gone and all of the garbage has been picked up and removed.

TYING UP BOATS:

Don't forget to tie up the boats and pull everything far away from the shoreline. The water will be rising and things will start to float away. A good strong wind, or boat wakes, will dislodge poorly parked toys as well sending them adrift to whatever end the lake the wind is blowing to.

CALF ELK:

The little guy in the photo was found curled up beside the road on the way to the beach. Leave baby animals alone. Generally they are in hiding during the day, even if the spot doesn't seem like the best one to be hiding in. How did he know it was along a major path when he nested down there?
