Spring Work Party This Saturday

1. Finish building and launching our three new docks (We have two large docks that replace the “old generation” plywood versions, as well as one finger dock that should help improve the boat parking situation on busy weekends.)
2. Migrate all sails and boat rigging supplies to our new sail shed
3. Clean up and organize the clubhouse and sauna
4. Move, chop, and stack firewood
5. Launch the Ensign and pontoon boat
6. Clean and rig the club fleet, plus a few select boat repairs and improvements
7. Installing new steps on “Ankle Roll Hill”
8. Install landscape edging outside of shoreline piles
9. Digging a new conduit trench for Trailer Row electric improvements
10. Set up awnings and picnic tables
11. General site cleanup

This is obviously a pretty sizable project list, so we’re hoping for a solid turnout. And remember: we do ask all members to show up for at least one of the two work parties, spring or fall.

If you’re a returning member, you know the drill. If you’re new, our work party starts at 10:00 AM, and usually runs until 4:00 or 5:00 PM. You don’t need to show up for the whole day, and we can make good use of whatever time you have to volunteer. When you arrive, ask for Cathy Wright. She’s our volunteer coordinator for the day, and will help connect you up with a project.

In terms of equipment, we typically have what we need on hand. You’ll just need work clothes, and work gloves are always recommended. And we do have an unusual number of digging projects this spring, so if you have a favorite shovel, you could bring it.

And special note for class members:

We’d love to see you guys for the work party! This is a great chance to meet other ASC members, and you can learn a lot about the boats and the club by helping to everything ready for the season.

And special thanks to Nancy Black, Dave Johnson, TL Stanbro, Bruce Lee, Jim Johnson, Darren Black, and Cathy Wright for attending our site committee meeting to help plan the work party. And thanks also to Will Merriman for helping with the materials run.
