A BIG thank you to the following members who turned out for our Grounds Clean Up Day.
We pulled weeds, mowed grass (Thank you Marilyn Leist for replacing the lawnmower that was stolen), fixed irrigation emitters, fluffed gorilla hair compost, removed dead grass from the berm, repaired a hole in the south parking lot, mended the prairie dog fence, etc.

Larry Arp discovered a new prairie dog hole on our southern property. He dealt with it summarily!
No prairie dogs were harmed in the closing of this hole.
They may be sorely inconvenienced, but they were not harmed.
