What is asked of members?
- help clean up at the run and clubhouse

- Do not block access to the boat ramp.
- Most important of all Volunteer officers do not get paid to hold office. We need your help!
A special thank you to members Mrs. & Mrs. Lyons who conducted a clean up of the boat ramp and the back gate to pond on Smithfield road areas on Sat. 20 Mar. They also cleaned up the bridge and the approaches to the bridge. They collected 5 bags of trash, several pieces of scrap metal, construction debris, and a rusted out gasoline tank. Mr. Lyons pulled a motor cycle out of the run. At another time they picked up the 4 tires that were dumped down by the boat ramp area and took them to the dump.
Mr. Thornton has volunteered to pick up the motor cycle body at the run and dispose of it.
Respectfully submitted
Anne Melville-Secretary/Treasurer
