1st work day was a HUGE success...

The first volunteer work day of the year was a big time success!

John Ferrell submitted the following report in an email to the Board members:

I just wanted to thank everyone who helped out on Sat. It was a successful day. The Got Junk guys rock!!!!!!

Snack Room- cleaned
Ladies restroom- cleaned
Trash out of back area- done
2nd coat of paint on clubhouse walls- done
All pool furniture is in back now
Kitchen is cleaned


The ceiling is 1/4 of the way done
Men's Restroom- still needs to be cleaned - maybe after all of the pool work is done.

*****

And Kerri and Ashley further elaborated about the massive amounts of pure junk we got rid of. Junk that had accumulated over the last 5 (maybe 50?) years. And they both reported on the AWESOME (free) job our local Sponsor (1-800-GOT JUNK) did. They took away 3 trucks full of stuff and helped move ALL the furniture to the back, in order to prepare the deck for the concrete work. So please, if you’ve got junk, consider them in your junk removal plan!

What was all the junk? Old, broken pool furniture, broken tables, leftover junk from various maintenance efforts, lots of old paint and chemical cans, old (falling apart) bookcases, etc. etc. We are off to a fresh start in 2008!

Thanks to everyone who showed up to help!
