Subject: Volunteer Work
Chris. as per our meeting of yesterday, I would like to volunteer my services to do some grass
mowing at Carnwath Farms using a Town Recreation mower. I have had experience using one
of these mowers as I volunteer to mow at Robinson Lane and currently use their Skag mower to
mow at least once a week. I understand the safety concerns that come with this and will make
sure that there is always another volunteer in attendance (expected to be my wife most of the
time) anytime I am mowing. This would actually help me out with trail maintenance there as I
am now mowing the trail weekly with a hand mower.
We also discussed the installation of a soda machine at Carnwath. If you get this blessed by the
Board, I will coordinate the installation of it in the dorm and keep it filled.
Thanks again for time yesterday. I have a game Monday night, but will get to the Board meeting
as soon as it ends.
