Saturday, May 3

7am – 3:30pm

Work Projects for this Work Day are still being compiled as of this submittal, but will probably include some of the following:
* Clean lead from the New Indoor Range.
* Cleaning rain gutters on the Clubhouse and Old Indoor range.
* Salvaging old wood 2×12’s from the old CMP Range backstop.
* Spraying grass killer in front and around the Outdoor Pistol Range as needed.
* Installing a second new parking Bollard near the entrance to the Main Range.
* Sort and stack remaining old used lumber near 100 yard berm on the Main Range.
* Painting and staining tables and work benches around the Range.

Saturday, June 7

7am – 3:30pm

Planned work includes:

1) Painting/staining tables, shooting bench seats and benches on the Defense Range, East Bay Range and the 500M Range.

2) Cleaning out the Storage Shed on the Front Range and sorting and re-stacking all the leftover Action Target Indoor Range components for the eventual second story on the new Indoor Range.

We will need many strong workers to help along with the Skid Steer to restack the materials and to regain considerable storage space in the building. This is for people with strong arms and backs as heavy lifting will be involved.

Workers who can’t provide this type of help can do the painting in item 1 above.

As usual, lunch will be provided for workers who work all day.
