• A very big thank you to B. Testu & S. Mills for doing a fantastic job with the grounds at the Club. The lawn / grounds were shamefully neglected and un-kept so they spent 10+ hours mowing, trimming, raking, cleaning up and hauling away the garbage etc. These two members saw an issue and took the initiative. The area looks 100% better! Thank you very much and here's hoping that others will follow your example.
