Part of what makes our cabin community so appealing is that we take care of it. It is our responsibility that we each do what we can to maintain the common areas. This is our annual day to work together, foster community, and enjoy the ambience and fellowship we treasure here. This year we are all aware that everyone is consciously Social Distancing, many of the work assignments can be accomplished by working in small groups wearing masks while maintaining a respectable social distance between workers. Some tasks such as chipping slash wearing a mask has always been a very good idea. 

8:00 ~ 8:30 AM

~ Lazar Cabin ~ 222 Horseshoe Hollow/Cohost Messier & McInturff

Afternoon “Bring Your Own” Picnic

~ set up time, 4:00pm ~ Dinner 4:30pm ~ Location, Louise & Tom Broadbent cabin 367 Horseshoe Loop

(attendance is entirely an individual choice, please contact Louise for details of how this part of the day will be set up)

There are still empty spaces on the sign up sheet that need to be filled as well as some extra helpers needed to work with Brent Bonwell on the chipper, Norma could use a person or two to help thinning pine saplings, Charlie & Michelle Tatlock could use some extra hands on clearing out the overflow ditch. The tasks that still need work teams are raking around the North and South Water tanks and the spring shed, and we could sure use another person to travel between work groups delivering water ...

Thank you all very much

....the following announcement was posted by Brent Bonwell, I believe it cannot hurt to repeat it again

"I've confirmed with Howard Fegan that he will be bringing the County chipper to the HSA annual workday on Saturday, May 23rd. He'll be there at 9am. We'll do Horseshoe Loop counter clockwise, then go to the south loop and finish with the slash at the campground. It's easier to pick up and load if the slash is left in larger pieces, with all the butt ends facing the road, and not stacked too high, where the slash gets tangled with each other.

Now's a good time to think about doing some additional thinning near your cabin and getting the slash to the roadside by the workday. If you have slash, it will be helpful if you can help load it into the chipper."

See you at the workday!
