HEROES : What you can do? Become an Everyday Hero.
Our club is fueled by our members. We enjoy the fruits of the hard work and planning of the members that came before us.
We must serve the needs of today and give a legacy to the future members.
Work parties– come and join the fun and toil.
We call work parties when we have a few small projects or a couple of big projects.
There is always a selection of jobs suited to everyone’s talents or abilities.
Independent – See something, Do something.
If you see some project that needs doing…
Lawn moving, trimming, painting, cleaning, repair.
