After a hiatus, the committee met with Rev. Christian, Deborah Schmidt and new lead facilities coordinator Warren Smith on August 23. We scheduled a work party for volunteers to help spruce up the buildings and grounds on the morning of Saturday, October 13. We hope to see you there!

Meetings of the committee will now take place on Thursday afternoons at 4. The next one will be on October 4. If you would like to join the committee, contact Larry Nagel after September 30.

The County has presented us with one more hurdle in the permitting process for cutting down our dead and dying Monterey pines: a review by the state Fish and Wildlife Department, with a public comment period. This process should be completed by the end of September, after which we will solicit new bids for the work.
