The Senate Appropriations Committee passed AB962 today.  It will now go before the entire Senate early next week.  Please contact your Senator and urge a NO vote on this legislation.

If you haven't been up to the Property recently, you should go take a look.

Our new caretaker Chris has done a tremendous job cleaning it up.

Way to go Chris!

Nominations for the 2009 Board of Directors were held at this months Board meeting.  The ballots will be mailed out in the next few days.

As no one else volunteered (or was volunteered) to run for Recording Secretary, I nominated myself.

Currently no one is running for the position of Corresponding Secretary.

Yesterday I went up to the Property to do some more work on cleaning up the campground, and to participate in the Turkey Fun Shoot.

I started the day by loading the last of the trash from where the 5th wheel trailer was taken apart into my utility trailer.  Thankfully there wasn't a whole lot left and it all fit in.

At 9AM I interupted my work to go up to the range and participate in the Turkey Shoot.  The turn out was somewhat disappointing with only 5 shooters.  Phil ran the shoot well and made sure everyone stayed safe.

We arrived at the Lakeside Sportsman's Club Property Friday evening.  Ted Barker, the Club President, was already there working on his motor home.  We set up camp, and enjoyed a relaxing evening.  From our campsite we could see the tops of the clouds over the Imperial Valley.  After sun set it looked like the war of the worlds was going on over there.  The lightning flashes were near constant.  But, alas, they were to far away to hear the thunder.

On Saturday I spent another 4+ hours working on scrapping the two junk trailers.

The big 5th wheel trailer has now been stripped down to the frame and floor. There is a large pile of recyclables sitting next to the frame. I'm looking for a volunteer to take these down to a processor. There are also a couple of piles of small pieces of trash that still need to be picked up and carted off. Anyone want to help with this?
